Ryan Mendez is the lead guitarist in the alternative rock band Yellowcard. His band mates refer to him as Mendez, probably to avoid confusion with Ryan Key, the band's vocalist/guitarist.
Mendez had been a member of the now defunct band, Staring Back. He joined Yellowcard shortly after recording the album, Lights and Sounds, when lead guitarist and founding member Ben Harper left the band to focus on his record label Takeover Records.
He has appeared in three of the group's music videos: Lights and Sounds, Rough Landing, Holly, and Light Up the Sky. Mendez took part in the writing process for the band's latest album Paper Walls.
