New Found Glory

Formed in Coral Springs, Florida in 1997 by Jordan Pundik, A New Found Glory, as it was originally branded, brought together Ian Grushka, Joe Moreno, Steve Klein and former Shai Hulud singer Chad Gilbert. A whirlwind rise to cult popularity in the punk music scene followed, and the group established themselves as vibrant live performers touring the East Coast at the end of the millennia. New Found Glory released a debut EP It's All About The Girls on the independent Fiddler Records label in 1997, which sold out, before the band switched to the Drive-Thru label, replaced Moreno with Cyrus Bolooki on drums and released their debut album Nothing Gold Can Stay two years later. Record label MCA then signed the group up, reissued the album and debuted the group on the label with the film theme EP From The Screen To Your Stereo in 2000. Their second album, the self-titled New Found Glory (a new name) became the group's first album to go gold, as did their third album 2002's Sticks And Stones, featuring hit single My Friends Over You. After headlining at the 2002 Warped Tour, the band recorded the album Catalyst, released in 2004, which also went gold, thanks to hit single All Downhill From There.
