We’re pumped to welcome New Found Glory to Grimey’s on Friday, February 20th at 5:00 PM for an intimate acoustic in-store performance & album signing to celebrate the release of their upcoming album, Listen Up! You can preorder their new album in the record shop or on our site here and score a wristband for the band's signing. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing and they also guarantee your entrance to the event. (Kids 12 & under don’t require a wristband if attending with a wristband holding adult.)
As New Found Glory 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.

See you soon, Music City!
