Pop-punk’s reigning champs, New Found Glory, come out swinging this week with the release of their hotly anticipated new album, Not Without A Fight, out now (released Monday 9th March) on Epitaph Records, their debut for the label. The band has also announced 2 UK headline shows in May, as part of their May European tour.
New Found Glory
Defending their title against any and all contenders, the platinum-selling group’s sixth studio album delivers a one-two knockout with fist-pumping hooks and catchy sing-along choruses. Working with producer Mark Hoppus (Motion City Soundtrack, The Matches) and mixer Neil Avron (Fall Out Boy) in their corner, NFG prove that challengers don’t stand a chance.
New Found Glory have been slugging it out for over a decade alongside bands like Green Day and Blink 182, becoming one of the most celebrated pop-punk bands in the world. Known for their trademark humor and fun loving attitude, the band’s latest effort will bring smiles to fans’ faces once again. The band’s ability to consistently produce pop-punk favorites, album after album, has made New Found Glory a household name worldwide and Not Without A Fight raises the bar.
Comprised of everything fans have come to love about the band, from their bouncy head-bobbing riffs and gang vocals to sing-along choruses and lyrics everyone can relate to, the album delivers knockout blows with the pop anthems like the soon to be released single “Listen To Your Friends” and grooving tracks like “47,” followed by the right hook “Truck Stop Blues,” a song about love on the road. The band’s last tour saw them play their largest UK venues to date, including a sold out show at Brixton Academy in December ‘08.
