Yellowcard has released Better Days (Deluxe) through Better Noise Music, led by the new collaboration “Hell With Me” with Steve Aoki.
The track is the pair’s second official team-up after Aoki’s 2023 EDM remix of “Ocean Avenue.” Aoki brought in a demo; the band built it out, and longtime collaborator Neal Avron mixed the finished song. Vocalist Ryan Key called Aoki “an absolute legend,” while Aoki framed the result as a rock-and-electronic blend aimed at 2027 ears.
The deluxe edition expands the Travis Barker–produced Better Days cycle that began in October 2025. That album has surpassed 65 million streams and delivered Yellowcard’s first two No. 1s at Billboard Alternative Airplay, including the Good Charlotte version of “Bedroom Posters.” The new package also gathers “Calvary Drive,” prior guest turns with Avril Lavigne and Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, and an “Asleep” take on the title track.
Yellowcard continues North American dates through September, then joins Good Charlotte for a November European run that includes London’s The O2 and Manchester’s Co-Op Live.
