Background edit
By April 2002, the band had spent a few months writing material for their next album. In April and May, they premiered new songs at a handful of shows; they recorded an album in June 2002.[2]
Release edit
In August, the band appeared on the Warped Tour; during one show, the crowd attempted to climb the stage. As a result of this, the band claimed they were banned from tour.[3] Yellow No. 5 was released on September 17, 2002, through Hopeless Records.[4] The following month, the band performed at Skatefest.[5] In November, the band embarked on a Canadian tour with Planet Smashers and Closet Monster.[6][7] In January and February 2003, the band embarked on a tour of the UK.[8] Between September and December 2003, the band toured across the US with River City Rebels.[9] In January 2004, the band headlined the Moto City and Midwest Ska festivals.[10]
In February 2004, the band toured across the US as part of the Ska Is Dead tour.[11] In April and May 2004, the band went on a sequel tour, dubbed Ska Is Dead and You're Next Tour, with Big D and the Kids Table, Catch 22, and Planet Smashers.[12] During this trek, the band showed off new drummer John Massel and bassist Rick Johnson, who replaced Brad Rozier and Matt Van, respectively. They embarked on a West Coast iteration of the Ska Is Dead tour, which was bookended by various club and college shows in September and November 2004.[13] They held four Midwest Ska Fest performances to close out the year.[14]
