New Found Glory formed in Coral Springs, Florida in 1997 and became one of pop punk's central bands by making emotional directness, fast tempos, and hardcore-informed rhythm feel inseparable. Nothing Gold Can Stay and the self-titled major-label album introduced the band's core style, while Sticks and Stones turned "My Friends Over You" into a genre landmark. Catalyst, Coming Home, Not Without a Fight, Radiosurgery, Resurrection, Makes Me Sick, Forever and Ever x Infinity, and later records show a band with unusual endurance, still writing around friendship, heartbreak, self-belief, and scene loyalty decades after their start. Chad Gilbert's guitar attack and Jordan Pundik's high, unmistakable vocals helped define the sound, while the band's affection for hardcore gave many songs a heavier punch than their bright choruses might suggest. New Found Glory fit punk scope directly and also connect to easycore through breakdown-aware moments and heavy touring ties. Their importance lies in consistency and influence. They helped standardize a version of pop punk where sincerity, speed, and big hooks could coexist with mosh-ready energy.
Chicago's New Found Power launched in 2025 with a crossover thrash attack that draws equally from hardcore's urgency and thrash metal's technical aggression. The Windy City has a long, distinguished history in both genres, and this band sounds ready to add to it.
