New Found Glory

Well, this 5-piece melodic pop rock band from Florida has come a long way from where they started. Their sound has changed tremendously since their debut album, Nothing Gold Can Stay, back in 1999. Starting with tunes that were more melodic punk, they have gradually become, well, pop-rock by their latest full-length album Coming Home in 2006. It's amazing what the music industry does to you huh!!


Last year, they released a Hits album.

01. Situations
02. Hit Or Miss (Waited Too Long)
03. Dressed To Kill
04. My Friends Over You

My 200円:

I used to love New Found Glory, ALOT. In fact, the first REAL concert I went to was NFG's show in London back in 2002.

I found out about them when I first liked pop-punk, through Blink-182. ANDDDD... actually, it was because of New Found Glory that I discovered Drive Thru Records and was pulled into the whole scene back in 2001.

New Found Glory's tunes started out quite pop-punk. It definitely had the riffs, yet really catchy tunes. However through time, their sound gradually softened and became more and more poppish , melodic, and mellow... From the likes of 2's & 3's, It Never Snows In Florida, Winter of '95, to tunes like I Don't Want To Know, Bloulders, etc, it's quite a startling difference... Not to say that the new albums were just all melodic and mellow, but, the later songs are definitely more crew-cut, hahaha, can i say that?? But that's how it feels anyway....!

Anyway, the first two albums, Nothing Gold Can Stay and the self-titled album, remain as my favourite NFG albums. Solid pop-punk songs, catchy yet rocking out.

If you're looking for those good ol' (LONG GONE) melodic punk songs, do check out their first two albums.... If you're looking for something more soothing and feel good tunes, then check out the later albums :)


New Found Glory, apparently, will be releasing a new EP featuring 3 new songs and 2 covers in April.
