Ten years ago pop-punk band Yellowcard released their well-known LP Ocean Avenue, and today the Florida natives are commemorating the occasion by releasing an acoustic version of the album that helped them gain mainstream success.

If you’re anything like us, the fact that Yellowcard’s Ocean Avenue just celebrated its 10th anniversary on July 22 is probably making you more than a little bit nostalgic for some other mainstream pop-punk bands that hit it big in the early ’00s, and if you are, Hypable’s got you covered!

So sit back, relax and let us light up your sky by highlighting Yellowcard plus five other awesome bands from the early ’00s that are worth revisiting!

Considering this list was completely inspired by the 10th anniversary of Ocean Avenue, we figured it only appropriate to kick things off by talking about Yellowcard.

Littered with hits like “Breathing,” “Only One,” and “Empty Apartment,” Yellowcard’s 2003 album may not have been their first full length venture, but to many it’s probably the one they most associate with the band.

One listen to the album’s ever-popular titular single, “Ocean Avenue,” will probably have you swimming in nostalgic thoughts of days spent in the summer sun with good friends. And the fact that these Florida rockers have chosen to bestow us with a full acoustic rendition of the album that won many of us over and turned us into fans back in 2003 is a real treat!

Check out Yellowcard’s acoustic rendition of “Ocean Avenue” featured on their new album, out today!

Hailing from Coral Springs, Florida, this five-piece band have been labeled by many music news outlets as the “godfathers of pop-punk.” Whether you agree with that statement or not, credit must be given where credit is due.

You’d be hard pressed to deny that these Florida rockers, who found themselves on the rise during the same time as Blink-182, definitely paved the way for other pop-punk/pop-rock acts like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and All Time Low to break into the mainstream. (Fun fact: All Time Low’s name was actually inspired by a line in New Found Glory’s single, “Head On Collision.”)

The band’s third studio album Sticks and Stones, released in June of 2002, peaked at the no. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 Chart and featured one of New Found Glory’s most popular singles to date, “My Friends Over You.”

Nostalgia aside, these punk-rockers continue to make music and tour the world today. In case you missed it, New Found Glory released their latest studio album, Radiosurgery back in 2011 and it’s definitely worth a listen if you were a fan of their earlier material!

This Maryland pop-punk group, comprised in part by their recognizable twin frontmen Benji and Joel Madden, burst onto the scene in 2002 with a hit single that complained about the irony of the famous and rich whining about the problems they face on the daily.

Good Charlotte’s “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,” topped both rock and pop charts worldwide but the success they garnered with additional hit singles over the years including “The Anthem,” “Dance Floor Anthem” and “Like It’s Her Birthday” is the true testament to the fact that these guys had staying power.

Though things have been pretty quiet on the Good Charlotte front since the band released their last full length album, Cardiology in 2010, fans of GC should note that it looks like they might be getting a comeback album from these guys sometime next year. Frontman Joel Madden recently tweeted that Good Charlotte is in fact working on a forthcoming studio album, and we know we can’t be the only ones who are at least a little bit curious as to what these guys come up with for their sixth studio album!

If you were lucky enough to make it out to The Warped Tour in 2002, there’s no way you could have missed this pop-punk five piece band from Canada.

Simple Plan made a name for themselves with songs fueled with lyrics about refusing to grow up, wanting to get it on with aliens, and clever innuendos. But while the majority of the songs featured on their first full length, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls, were arguably silly lyric wise, they also managed to show they weren’t afraid to get deep with singles like every moody teenager’s anthem, “Perfect.”

We’ll admit that even 10 years later we’re still not completely sure if we should lament about the tale of a break-up gone bad, or giggle over the fact that frontman Pierre Bouvier sounds like he’s calling himself “a dick” in the band’s single “Addicted,” but we can’t deny the song is still as infectiously catchy as it was the day it came out!

We just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to include a band on this list from across the pond, and with their immense success overseas in the early ’00s, Busted seemed like the perfect addition!

While Busted never received the mainstream success stateside that they saw in the U.K., it might surprise some of you Americans to know that you may in fact be familiar with at least one of this punk-pop trio’s hit singles. After disbanding in 2005, guitarist James Bourne allowed then newcomers, the Jonas Brothers, to record a toned down cover of Busted’s hit single, “Year 3000” in 2006. Coincidentally, the JoBros’ cover of “Year 3000” became the band of brothers’ first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

And though you could argue that Busted was more pop than punk, with catchy tunes like “Falling For You,” “She Wants to Be Me,” and “Crashed The Wedding,” we have no problem admitting these silly guys from the U.K. ruled our burned CD mixes and early iPod playlists of pop-punk tunes right alongside the rest of the bands on this list!

No list of this nature would be complete without the band that compelled us to want to “spell confusion with a K.”

Hailing from the West Coast, Something Corporate brought a more melodic element to their brand of pop-punk due largely in part to the piano element frontman Andrew McMahon incorporated into the band’s music from the get-go.

Something Corporate found success in 2002 after releasing their first major studio album, Leaving Through the Window. Armed with sing along worthy songs like “If U C Jordan” and “I Woke Up In A Car,” it was impossible not to fall in love with this band that formed in Orange County in 1998.

After the band went on hiatus in 2004, lead singer Andrew McMahon found success in his side project, Jack’s Mannequin and though we’re choosing to highlight McMahon’s earlier work with Something Corporate for the purpose of the timeline in this article, it has to be said that Jack’s Mannequin’s debut album, Everything In Transit, is a great piece of work in and of itself and more than worthy of a listen!

Though it’s highly unlikely Something Corporate will ever return with a new full length album or come together for a reunion tour, it should be noted that Andrew McMahon continues to make music and tour to this day.

Jack’s Mannequin released their latest full length album, People And Things, in 2011, and McMahon is currently releasing solo work under his own name. The former frontman for both Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin released The Pop Underground – EP in April 2013 and additionally served as a songwriter on the second season of NBC’s Smash.
