New Found Glory

Hailing from Coral Springs, Florida, New Found Glory (initially A New Found Glory) exploded onto the pop-punk scene in 1997. The current lineup – Jordan Pundik (lead vocals), Ian Grushka (bass), Chad Gilbert (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Cyrus Bolooki (drums) – continues to deliver the goods, though longtime rhythm guitarist and lyricist Steve Klein departed in late 2013.

Since their inception, NFG have cemented their status as pop-punk titans, releasing a staggering catalog: twelve studio albums, a live album, two EPs, and four cover albums. Their journey began with 1999's Nothing Gold Can Stay, followed by their self-titled major label debut in 2000, which propelled "Hit or Miss" to #15 on the Alternative Songs chart.

The band achieved mainstream success with 2002's Sticks and Stones, featuring the hit single "My Friends Over You." Their momentum continued with 2004's Catalyst, earning a VMA nomination for "All Downhill From Here" in the Breakthrough Video category. 2006's Coming Home, spearheaded by "It's Not Your Fault," marked a stylistic shift towards alternative rock, a temporary departure from their signature pop-punk sound. This critically acclaimed album further solidified their place in the annals of rock history.
