WILLIAM RYAN KEY releases heartfelt “Old Friends” video… on tour with Mayday Parade this fall

“William has created something special with Thirteen. Nothing here remotely reminds the senses of Yellowcard, instead we are treated to something fresh and sincere.” – Substream

“This is an impressive collection of quaint and personal ditties that have all the power we should have expected from something with the name William Ryan Key attached to them.” – New Noise Magazine

“Ultimately, Thirteen is a body of work that benefits beautifully from the past, with Key bearing the weight of it all lyrically and yet still displaying a continual desire to pursue the better and beyond.” – AltWire

WILLIAM RYAN KEY
Honors Fans with Heartfelt Video for
“Old Friends” On Tour with Mayday Parade This Fall

WILLIAM RYAN KEY

Riding on a really encouraging and heart-warming wave of overwhelmingly positive press on his debut solo EP THIRTEEN, former Yellowcard vocalist/guitarist WILLIAM RYAN KEY has been keeping himself really busy since its release earlier this Spring. Following a national tour supporting New Found Glory and a handful of dates on the final Vans Warped Tour, Ryan will be playing a handful of shows in the US with Moose Blood followed by his first ever solo shows in Australia. Following this, he will be embarking a national tour with friends Mayday Parade. All dates are below. But before he does that, he is releasing today the new video to the new single “Old Friends” from his EP.

“I collected a ton of live footage on tour this year that I knew I wanted to use for a music video,” Ryan says. “I chose ‘Old Friends’ because I wanted to include the people that have been out there supporting my new music the most. I received over 800 submissions of photographs of fans and friends to use in the video. The end result feels nostalgic and peaceful just like the song itself.”

Tender and intimate, the video features Ryan performing the track interspersed with photos of him with fans while on the road. Premiering today on Altpress.com, the video can be see here: https://youtu.be/NBlDdkwrNeI.

Ryan is currently working on the follow-up to Thirteen.
