Yellowcard, Reeve Oliver members form Big If, put former bands on hiatus

Contributed by grantino. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 2:30 PM (EST)

Ryan Key of Yellowcard and Sean O'Donnell of Reeve Oliver have unveiled their new project, pop-punk outfit Big If. Regarding their old bands, the duo had this to say:

Lots of you are sending messages asking about the fate of our previous bands. Neither Yellowcard or Reeve Oliver feel like it is necessary to announce official break ups. There may come a time down the road where we want to get together and play shows with those bands. Who knows when that may be, but we aren't ruling it out completely. However, Sean and I are really excited about working together and we are both focusing 100% of our energy and effort on BIG IF.

So at the least, both bands could be described as on an "indefinite hiatus."

3. I suppose one shitty band is better than two

From the Myspace, it sounds like they have the good sense to have Sean sing most of the leads

Bummer. Sean & Brad from Reeve Oliver both work at the same place I do, and I always enjoyed their music and seeing them play. I hope this doesn't mean an end for them, but Sean definitely writes good pop rock songs so this seems like a good collaboration for him.

So, if you love superficial music that dosen't mean shit.... download this to you're Ipod. Comb your hair like an emo all-star, then real punk can prevail.
