New Found Glory (formerly A New Found Glory)[1] is an American rock band from Coral Springs, Florida, formed in 1997. The band currently consists of Jordan Pundik (lead vocals), Ian Grushka (bass guitar), Chad Gilbert (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Cyrus Bolooki (drums).[2][3] Longtime rhythm guitarist and lyricist Steve Klein left the band in late 2013.[4][5][6] During their lengthy recording career, the band have released ten studio albums, one live album, two EPs, and four cover albums.
After forming in 1997, New Found Glory released their debut studio album Nothing Gold Can Stay in 1999. The band then released their self-titled major label debut in 2000, with the album's song "Hit or Miss" peaking at number 15 the Alternative Songs chart. In 2002, the band became mainstream with their album Sticks and Stones and the album's hit "My Friends Over You". The group's popularity continued with their 2004 album Catalyst, of which the video for "All Downhill From Here" was nominated for a VMA for Breakthrough Video of the Year. Led by single "It's Not Your Fault", the mid-tempo and critically acclaimed Coming Home followed in 2006. The release showcased a temporary move to an alternative rock style instead of their usual pop punk sound.[7] The quintet returned to their energetic roots with the release of Not Without a Fight in 2009. They have since released four more albums; Radiosurgery in 2011, Resurrection in 2014, Makes Me Sick in 2017, and their tenth studio album Forever + Ever x Infinity in 2020.[8]
Emerging as part of the second wave of pop punk in the late 1990s,[9][10] music critics consider them a key pioneer of the genre.[11][12][13][14][15] Often labelled the "godfathers of pop punk",[16][17][18] AllMusic notes how their "raucous, fast-paced anthems carried them through the decades",[19] whilst crediting them for "practically serving alongside the work of Blink-182 as the blueprint to the entire genre for the early 2000s."[20] Rock Sound have championed their "classic sugar sweet sound", which combines "pop-punk and hardcore in one neat package."[21] Alternative Press have praised the group for their "innovative and entirely irresistible fusion of punk melodies and hardcore breakdowns."[22] As such, the band is considered highly influential in the development of the subgenre easycore.[7][23]
