New Found Glory (formerly A New Found Glory) is an American rock band from Coral Springs, Florida. Formed during the Summer of 1997, founding members were lead vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Joe Marino. Current drummer Cyrus Bolooki replaced Marino after only a handful of shows and the lineup has since remained unchanged. The band is noted for their blend of pop melodies with the energy and fast tempos of classic punk rock. Subsequently, music critics consider them a key pioneer of pop punk music. Indeed, Allmusic have credited the band for "practically serving alongside the work of Blink-182 as the blueprint to the entire genre for the early 2000s." Also renowned for their energetic live performances, the five-some have garnered a devout following since their inception. During their fifteen-year recording career, the band have released some seven studio albums, various EPs and two cover albums.

After releasing the home-recorded EP, It's All About the Girls in 1997, the band were able to build a cult following after a rigorous touring schedule of the East Coast area and the release of debut album Nothing Gold Can Stay (1999). The album was distributed on independent label Eulogy Recordings and sold over 300,000 copies. The following year, debut single "Hit or Miss" charted on the US Modern Rock Chart and exposed the band to a wider audience. Their subsequent three studio albums; New Found Glory (2000), Sticks and Stones (2002), and Catalyst (2004) all charted on the Billboard 200 and achieved gold certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

After a break from touring, the band worked with Thom Panunzio on their critically acclaimed fifth album, Coming Home (2006). The record drew influences from classic rock and marked a departure from the band's earlier work. After a spell without a contract, the band signed with independent label Bridge Nine Records and released a new EP titled, Tip of The Iceberg (2008) which paid homage to their melodic hardcore influences. Their sixth studio album, Not Without a Fight (2009) topped the Billboard Independent Albums chart and was produced by Mark Hoppus before they signed with current label Epitaph Records. In 2010, the band reunited with long-term record producer Neal Avron for their seventh studio album Radiosurgery, which was released October 4, 2011.
