New Found Glory - Listen Up! (Limited Edition) [Preorder]

It's been decades since New Found Glory were etched onto pop-punk's Mount Rushmore but as the Coral Springs Florida quartet approach their 30th anniversary they've proven with their 11th studio album Listen Up! - and first for Pure Noise Records - that they still have plenty to say. Shaped by guitarist Chad Gilbert's battle with metastatic cancer and the enduring bond with bandmates Jordan Pundik Ian Grushka and Cyrus Bolooki the record captures resilience and gratitude in tightly wound riffs and sing-along hooks reminiscent of their early 2000s classics.

Written face-to-face in Gilbert's Nashville home with a riff-first mentality the album recalls Sticks and Stones and Catalyst while pushing forward with songs like first single "100%" road-tested alongside The Offspring and Jimmy Eat World. Produced by Steve Evetts with contributions from Dan O'Connor of Four Year Strong Listen Up! balances nostalgia with urgency embodying the band's mission to inspire a new generation of fans while offering longtime listeners a renewed sense of strength positivity and joy-because as Pundik sings on "Beer And Blood Stains" at the end of the day "it's good to be alive."
