Coral Springs, FL – With one month to go until the release of their new record Listen Up!, New Found Glory is excited to give fans another taste with their new single Beer and Blood Stains. The song is out now and streaming here.

“This is the heaviest song on the record but it almost sounds like a party. At least that was the goal,” shares guitarist Chad Gilbert. “It’s about an old venue we used to play when we first started. We’d play there pretty much every weekend. It was a lot of hardcore bands. Looking back now it was a dangerous place…so many fights and craziness – illegal things that wouldn’t fly now. This song is about how much fun we had, but not realizing how close to the edge we were.”

New Found Glory recently announced that they’d be joining Yellowcard on The Up Up Down Down Tour, along with special guests Plain White T’s. The 24-city tour kicks off May 6th in Atlanta, with stops to follow in Chicago, Denver, Nashville, New York, and more before wrapping up on June 17th in Boston.

Prior to the tour, fans in Indonesia can catch the band on May 3rd at Hammersonic 2026. They’ll also be performing at this year’s Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival, taking place in Columbus from May 14th-17th.

About NEW FOUND GLORY:

It’s been decades since New Found Glory’s likeness was chiseled onto pop-punk’s Mount Rushmore, but as the quartet, formed in Coral Springs, Florida, in 1997, approach their landmark 30th anniversary, they still have a lot to say.

“We wanted to make something that really focused on how lucky we are,” guitarist Chad Gilbert explains of LISTEN UP!, NFG’s 11th studio album and first release for Pure Noise Records. “We’ve all gone through serious stuff in our lives, and I think the lyrics on this record are more meaningful and purposeful than ever. It’s a positive outlet that hopefully keeps people going.”

The album’s spirit is indeed a testament to resilience, shaped not only by Gilbert’s ongoing battle with an aggressive metastatic cancer but also the ever-evolving dynamic between him and his bandmates – vocalist Jordan Pundik, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki – as they continue to push each other creatively. It’s the same full-hearted sentiment that colored their 2023 acoustic EP, Make The Most Of It, here delivered in three-minute bursts of the band’s trademark pop-punk sound: the shiny melodies that launched them onto TRL in the early 2000s, the ghosts of the tight-knit punk and hardcore scenes they came up in as teenagers.

That kinetic energy informed Listen Up! from its earliest stages of the writing process, with Bolooki and Grushka traveling to Gilbert’s Nashville-area home to flesh out the songs the guitarist had been crafting. Sitting face to face with their instruments, the three fell into a rhythm of workshopping and arranging together, leaning into a riff-first mentality that harkened back to iconic songs like My Friends Over You and All Downhill From Here in what Bolooki calls a musical return to form.

At this stage in their decorated career, New Found Glory’s goals are straightforward: keep inspiring the next generation of artists and continue writing songs that help their audience – and themselves – find strength, courage, and joy. The band has come a long way from their humble South Florida beginnings, as detailed on the Listen Up! standout Beer And Blood Stains, a nostalgic riff-factory detailing the band’s early battle scars at local clubs, where danger meant more than catching a stray elbow in the swirl of a circle pit. “Looking back, was it fun or crime?” Pundik muses on the track before elevating the album’s simple-yet-profound mission statement: “It’s good to be alive”.
