Yellowcard announced their breakup sometime ago, playing their final show last month.

However, the band have released one final video for ‘A Place We Set Afire’, as a farewell gift to fans.

Vocalist Ryan Key announced the video with a farewell message to the band’s fans. “We are happy to finally release our last music video. We chose ‘A Place We Set Afire’ because the song was inspired by and written for you.

“We are so grateful to one of our biggest fans and friend, Chris Lawrence, for donating his time and passion for Yellowcard to this video. We hope that you enjoy this final farewell piece. Thank you all for everything.”

The video itself is quite touching, with violinist Sean Mackin having the final word: “It’s definitely not easy. I don’t want to say goodbye. I just want to say, ‘Thank you’.”

Farewell to the only band that made having a punk violinist and being named after a punishment for a minor soccer violation look somewhat cool.
