With nearly 30 years of band experience under their collective belts, New Found Glory feel like they’re out to prove they still belong in the upper echelon of pop-punk royalty. Listen Up! was produced by Steve Evetts (Simple Plan, The Wonder Years), and the lyrical topics of the new LP are shaped around guitarist Chad Gilbert’s battle with metastatic cancer and the friendship he has created with his bandmates. The riff-heavy record has that classic NFG sound to it, while adding in some contributions from now-permanent touring member/guitarist Dan O’Connor of Four Year Strong, and the album showcases what the band is capable of crafting when they hone in on their strengths as a unit. The ten-song effort is a model of New Found Glory’s gritty work ethic and professional consistency as a band that shows little signs of slowing down anytime soon.

When the decision was made to work on a new record, the main thing that Jordan and Chad knew was that they wanted to take their time with it. Looking back to how they had made 2020’s ‘Forever + Ever x Infinity’, a record that they admit got a bit lost in the chaos of COVID, they realised that the experience had been defined by simply trying to get it over the line rather than making sure what they had made sense for where they were. When it came to ‘Listen Up!’, it became more about making sure they trimmed the fat and focused on what was important.

New Found Glory talked with V13 about their new album, and touched on some other interesting topics:
“I don’t really know. We’ve been a band for so long, and we’re going to get our catalog back. How Taylor Swift rerecorded her albums, I’d never want to mess with anything like that, but I thought it could be fun, instead of rushing into a new album, to rerecord Coming Home in a heavier, New Found Glory style. That record always caused debate. It was either a fan’s favorite or their least favorite. So I thought it could be fun to make fans argue again, do they like the punker version of Coming Home or the piano version?
When we play those songs live, they come out heavier because we’re using our normal gear. So that could be a fun thing to do. But as far as 30 years, I honestly forgot it was coming up. It’s pretty crazy. We still have to release this record, and life takes you where it takes you.”
New Found Glory sat down with Kerrang!:
“They’re caring about me and they want to know how I am,” rationalises Chad, “But my answer is only ever two things: I’m dying or I’m doing good. What I was finding over the past two or three years is there’s a way of talking through the suffering that keeps them in the negative headspace.
“You want someone to ask if you’ve seen the latest TV show, like Welcome To Derry, and to tell you it’s awesome. I’d rather someone just talk to me like that, like a normal person. There are people in my life that have struggled with what I’m going through more than me. That puts a stress on me where I’m like, ‘I’m having a good day, and you brought it to a place that I don’t want to be in.’ So that’s what [You Got This] is about. It’s saying thank you for caring, but don’t use this as a tool for connection for yourself.”
