The group recorded their major-label debut Ocean Avenue in February-March 2003 and released on July 22, 2003. Shortly after releasing The Underdog EP, Yellowcard signed with Capitol Records. The band then asked Pete Mosely from Inspection 12 to play bass, and he joined the band four days later. However, soon after The Underdog EP was released, Warren Cooke left for personal reasons on July 16, 2002. Both of these were well received by fans. The group released its third album, One for the Kids ( Lobster Records), in 2001 and followed up with The Underdog EP ( Fueled by Ramen Records) in 2002. After sending the new EP to friend Steve Lubarsky at Lobster Records, the band signed its first recording contract in June 2000 and in November, headed west to Camarillo, California, to begin working on another full-length album. Key then filled both Clary's and Dobson's duties, guitar and vocals respectively. Soon after it was released, Todd Clary left the band. In early 2000, Yellowcard recorded the Still Standing EP. This changed the band's style from hardcore punk to pop punk. Soon, however, the band fired Dobson and replaced him with former guest vocalist Key. Where We Stand, the band's debut studio album, featured the same lineup as Midget Tossing, and Mackin was brought in for more songs. Yellowcard recorded its first EP, Midget Tossing, at the Music Factory in Jacksonville Beach with Michael Ray FitzGerald at the board. Key had also been in California band Craig's Brother. Modern Amusement frontman Ryan Key appeared as a guest, on background vocals, as did violinist Sean Mackin. Yellowcard's original lineup featured Ben Dobson on vocals, Todd Clary on guitar and vocals, Ben Harper on guitar, Warren Cooke on bass, and Longineu Parsons III on drums. The band got its name from a phrase its members used in high school: whenever somebody did something stupid at a party, such as spilling beer on the carpet, they cited soccer laws and gave the offender a " yellow card" for committing a "party foul". Yellowcard was formed in 1997 in Jacksonville, Florida, after its members met at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts.
