Yellowcard ProfileUS pop-punk heroes Yellowcard took to Facebook this morning to make a major announcement regarding a forthcoming US Tour with Memphis May Fire and the title and release date of their next full-length album — only to have the grand unveiling marred by an unauthorised leak of additional information on Twitter.
In the original video post, Yellowcard revealed that they would be embarking on an extensive tour around the US throughout October and November, and that — more excitingly, for their non-US fans — their ninth studio full-length would be titled Lift A Sail, and is set to hit shelves next month.
However, thanks to a wayward Indonesia-based fan account on Twitter, we also know what both the artwork and the tracklist for the album are very likely to look like:

While it would be easy enough to outright dismiss the material as unverified speculation, reactionary tweets from violinist Sean Mackin and the band's official account expressed obvious irritation over the leak.

Yeah, the internet tends to do that. Sorry, Yellowcard. Here, we will embed one of your videos as a gesture of apology:
