    Quotables

    • "Music is a necessity in my life. The emotion of it and the way it makes people feel is indescribable. That's all I need."

    • "No, gimme the bare skin."

    • "Paper Walls is Yellowcard's best work to date! We've taken the energy and collaborative nature of Yellowcard to the next level! We've taken the growth and the evolution of that straight forward rock sound from Lights and Sounds, and we smashed it together with super sonic fury now called Paper Walls!"

    • "The Japanese culture is so amazing, but they never get kudos for their cuisine. One of our favorite things to do is to go to all the different Japanese restaurants. We had Shabu Shabu the first night. We then of course had the Kobe beef experience. The culture's so wonderful. I have very strong Asian pride."
    • "We've always taken pride that we are a positive influence band. We are very lucky and very blessed to have what we have in life and to be able to share it with so many people. There's so many pitfalls in the world that make you wanna be sad, but I think that Yellowcard's music has always been on the other side of that."
    • "My energy level is a reflection of what I get from the crowd. I was used to wearing a tuxedo and playing in an orchestra. Now with having our own show, when it's my turn to play my bit, I stand on that little island I don't have to hold back. It's a relief and it is a lot of fun."
    • "Believe and Breathing off of Ocean Avenue are definitely my two favorite songs to play. Believe is really hard but it has such a meaningful message that it always moves me as well as I see things happen in the audience and the reaction is always amazing, but Breathing is just that straight forward, like man what song do you want to start out with, lets start out with this one because it is such freakin’ crowd pleaser. "
    • "Yellow thing… Ferraris are traditionally yellow and they’re amazing. I’m a car guy so I’d say a yellow Ferrari Enzo would be pretty awesome."
    • "I really like the song "Shrink The World". I think it's a really strong recognizable Yellowcard sound. It has a little bit of an edgier thing and because of how many different sounds we have on the album, from "Keeper" to "Shadows and Regrets" and the end of "The Takedown" that's kind of that “in your face” type of song. So I'm really excited to play that, maybe a little bit later on and I feel like that one will really get the room going."
    • "If I would choose one word to define ‘Paper Walls’ for Yellowcard: Strong. I think it's really strong for us."
    • "The original "X" symbol had to do with like a band-aid on a head sort of like to keep it together. It's always been something that was simple and recognizable. Now with the new version it represents all of us, we all have a piece so we kind of keep it together."
    • "People sometimes ask what is your greatest goal as part of that question as well, and longevity has always been part of our goal or one of the only goals that we have. But just to do this and to be in Yellowcard and have my friends surrounding me and play music for a living and have fans to who we give has much as we do. That in itself is such a great achievement. I want our fans to know that we appreciate it."
    • "I don't know. Maybe that I always gave it my all, with the band and with everything."
    		 Artist Biography Sean Michael Wellman-Mackin (born 30 april 1979) is the violinist and back-up vocalist of pop-punk band yellowcard.
    Sean played violin since he was only six years old!
    Before Yellowcard, Sean had never played with a rock band but was in an orchestra.
    Sean Mackin in interview to swanktrendz:
    "I was brought up on classical, with a little more jazz when I went to high school. I started doing some some improvisation with the violin and then began a little more of the rock side, but I had been classically trained from the age of six. So I could venture out, yet always return to the classic."
    Sean Mackin in interview to Confront magazine:
    "My first concert was a Face To Face concert in Jacksonville, Florida. My mom never let me go to rock shows, so when I turned 16, I just hung out with my friends and Face To Face was my favorite band. It was pretty awesome because I got to be in the front row and Trever Keith was playing at me and I was singing every song. It was pretty rad! The last concert I went to... (thinking) Wow! I can't remember! I saw Ben Folds about a year and a half ago. That was the last concert I went to. He was amazing."
