Background and production
In April 2001, Yellowcard released their third studio album One for the Kids through Lobster Records.[1][2] It was promoted with a tour of the southern United States with Inspection 12, and a two-week tour of the US West Coast with Bordem.[3][4] By April 2002, it was reported that the band had signed to Capitol Records.[5] In June and July 2002, the band appeared on Warped Tour, which coincided with the release of the band's second EP The Underdog EP on July 2, through Fueled by Ramen.[6] Two days after the EP's release, bassist Warren Cooke left the band, citing personal reasons. His spot was temporarily filled by members of other acts on the tour, Home Grown and the Starting Line.[7]
On July 21, 2002, Inspection 12 guitarist Peter Mosely joined Yellowcard as their bassist.[8] In October and November 2002, the band supported No Use for a Name on their headlining US tour, and played a few shows with the Starting Line and Park.[9][10] In February 2003, the band played a handful of west coast shows with Park and Stole Your Woman.[11] Sessions for Ocean Avenue were held at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, in February and March 2003. Neal Avron produced and recorded the album with assistance from engineers Ryan Castle and Travis Huff. Tom Lord-Alge mixed the recordings at South Beach Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, with assistance from Femio Hernandez, before the album was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York City.[12]
Composition
The sound of Ocean Avenue has been described musically as pop-punk[13][14][15] and punk rock,[16] and drew comparisons to Blink-182 and Simple Plan.[17] Between signing to Capitol and recording, the band spent a period of time writing new material in several studios.[18] The band experimented with country and folk-stylized rock in songs like "Empty Apartment", "View from Heaven", and "One Year, Six Months".[19] Mosely played bass on every track, except for "Only One", which was done by Key. Mosely also played piano on "Empty Apartment" and "Only One", and added vocals. Christine Choi and Rodney Wirtz played cello and viola, respectively, on "Way Away", "Breathing", "Empty Apartment", "Only One", and "Believe"; violinist Sean Mackin and Avron wrote the string arrangement.[12]
The opening track "Way Away" is about a person leaving their home and finding their own way in life.[20] "Ocean Avenue" is anchored around a distorted staccato punk rock guitar riff; in the song's lyrics, Key uses the person he is singing to as a metaphor for the band's hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.[21][22] The song was inspired by Ocean Boulevard, a road in Jacksonville.[23] In "Life of a Salesman", Key talks about how he will act as a father by following his own father's example.[24] "Only One" was written partway through the recording sessions, and Key said the lyrics were influenced by "a weird breakup". He explained it was "one of those where I felt like I had to do it, even though she didn't do anything wrong".[25] "Twentythree" is about growing up,[26] and the country song "View from Heaven", with additional vocals from Alieka Wijnveldt, discusses the death of a girlfriend.[12][24][27] "Believe" is an homage to emergency service members who died in the September 11 attacks.[24] The penultimate track, "One Year, Six Months", is an acoustic ballad that is followed by "Back Home", which is about the things a person leaves behind in "Way Away".[20][28]
Release
On May 4, 2003, Ocean Avenue was announced for release in two months' time.[29] Around this time, Mosely cited personal reasons for leaving and was replaced by Alex Lewis.[30][31] Between mid-July and early August 2003, the group appeared on the Warped Tour.[32] Ocean Avenue was eventually released on July 22, 2003, through Capitol Records after it was originally scheduled to be released on July 8.[29] The album was released as an enhanced CD in some countries, which included a video entitled "The Making of Ocean Avenue" and a music video for The Underdog EP track "Powder".[33] The Japanese edition included "Firewater", "Hey Mike", and the acoustic versions of "Way Away" and "Avondale" as bonus tracks;[34] "Way Away" was released on radio the same day. The CD version included "Hey Mike" and an acoustic version of "Avondale".[35][36] After the band finished performing on the Warped Tour in August, it went on a club tour in the US that was followed by a few radio show appearances.[37] The music video for "Way Away" premiered on The O.C. on September 2, 2003.[38]
In October 2003, Yellowcard appeared at Shocktoberfest[39] and on IMX[40] before playing a handful of shows later that month.[41] In November, the band went on a US tour with Less Than Jake and Fall Out Boy,[42] and performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live![43] "Ocean Avenue" was played on radio December 16, 2003.[35] On March 3, 2004, the band appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[44] Around this time, Lewis was kicked out of the band and replaced by Mosely.[30] In March and April 2004, the band went on a co-headlined a US tour with Something Corporate, and was supported by Steriogram and the Format.[45] The band later toured Europe in May 2004 with Less Than Jake and the A.K.A.s.[46] On May 18, 2004, Yellowcard appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[47] "Way Away" was released as a single in the UK on May 31, 2004.[48] In June 2004, "Only One" was released as a single; the CD version included an AOL Session version of "View from Heaven" and a live version of "Miles Apart".[49][50]
The music video for "Only One" was directed by Phil Harder and was filmed prior to the European tour.[25] According to Key, the video was "a love story that is surrounded by a lot of chaos and confusion".[49] After appearing at the main stage on Warped Tour, the band performed at the MTV Video Music Awards.[51] They played a few European shows with New Found Glory before embarking on tours in Australia and Japan.[52] "Ocean Avenue" was released as a single in the UK on September 6, 2004; the CD version included "Firewater", an acoustic version of "Way Away", and the music video for "Ocean Avenue".[21][53] Around this time, "Believe" was released as a single to honor the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.[54] In October and November 2004, the band went on a six-week tour of the US.[52]
In November 2004, the live/video album Beyond Ocean Avenue: Live at the Electric Factory was released. It featured footage from a show earlier in the year, as well as a documentary on the history of the band.[55] Ocean Avenue was pressed on vinyl for the first time in 2011 through Hopeless Records, individually and as part of the box set 2002–2011 Collection.[56][57] It was re-pressed by Hopeless Records in 2014, and by Field Day Records in 2021.[58][59] In 2013, the band released an acoustic version of the album, Ocean Avenue Acoustic, in honor of the album's tenth anniversary.[60] The band toured the acoustic album later in 2004 and again in early 2014.[60][61] "Way Away", "Ocean Avenue", "Empty Apartment", "Life of a Salesman", "Only One", and "Believe" were included on the band's first compilation album Greatest Hits (2011).[62]

Ocean Avenue received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. The Spokesman-Review writer Cameron Adamson was initially sceptical of the use of violin, but "was pleasantly surprised"; as he listened to more of the album, he noted that the "energy that is felt from the start never dies".[67] AllMusic reviewer MacKenzie Wilson wrote that the album "delivers despite of its catchy recipe", with Mackin's "impressively skilled" violin playing that helped Yellowcard "in making something sound original and fresh".[63] Brad Maybe of CMJ New Music Report noted that the band set themselves apart with Mackin's violin; the album had "giant hooks and undeniably catchy choruses", which were "propelled to monstrous levels" by the violin.[27]
IGN's Nick Madsen wrote that as integral was Key's vocals and Harper's guitar were to the band, Mackin's violin was "more than just a gimmick and absolutely should not be written off as one". He called the album a "solid and consistent record that has made a believer out of [him]".[19] Entertainment Weekly writer Joe Caramanica said the band laid "somewhere between A Simple Plan and blink-182, which is to say they're resilient enough not to whine, but too young to have a reason to anyhow". He added that Key "wails every song without a hint of stylistic variation, subject matter be damned."[17] Elizabeth Bromstein of Now wrote that there was "a certain amount of drive" to the album, which offered "some neat guitar sounds as well as some nice arrangements".[66]
PopMatters contributor Stephen Haag said the album "arrives at a time when pop punk's audience is maturing beyond the typical puerile fare that too many bands offer." He added that the band with their violin parts "aren't entirely the answer to what is ailing pop punk, but they're not part of the problem either".[26] The staff at DIY said that the opening track could lead the listener to think of the album as "just another punk rock CD." In spite of Mackin's violin giving the band some diversity from their peers, there was "still a fair share of bog standard punk rock, run of the mill stuff".[16] Drowned in Sound reviewer Nick Lancaster dismissed Yellowcard as "merely the latest band to hop off the boy-band-punk conveyor belt for their fifteen minutes of minor fame", though he wrote that it was "[n]ever actively bad, but offensive in its lack of imagination and drive".[64]
