Also known as International Superheroes Of Hardcore, to date the band have released nine and a half studio albums, their latest, Makes Me Sick, was released on April 28, 2017.
The band formed under the name A New Found Glory in mid-1997 in Coral Springs, Florida, United States and currently based in California. New Found Glory formed in the middle of 1997, with Jordan Pundik on vocals, Chad Gilbert (formerly of hardcore band Shai Hulud) and Steve Klein on guitars, Ian Grushka on bass and Joe Moreno on drums (he was replaced by Cyrus Bolooki after their debut release). Chad Gilbert told MTV News "For us, punk rock and even hardcore music was something we did because we didn't fit in in high school. We had nowhere to go, so we went to shows."
The band recorded their first EP called It's All About The Girls under Fiddler Records in June 1997. The band's enthuasistic and somewhat homo erotic live performances soon resulted in them selling out the entire pressing of this EP. Over time, the strength of the live show helped build a strong following. Their first album Nothing Gold Can Stay was released by Eulogy Recordings. Stefanie Reines of Drive-Thru Records heard the album from the band Midtown and later re-released the album in 1999. They soon recorded an EP entitled From the Screen to Your Stereo, consisting of movie themes covered in a similar manner to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. As a result of their growing popularity and a distribution deal Drive-Thru had with MCA, which allowed MCA to take away any of Drive-Thru's bands, the band was signed to MCA.
Professional career
Their first release recorded with MCA was their self-titled album, which was released late in 2000 and which was the first to make an impression on the charts reaching number 107 on the Billboard 200 album charts and number one on the Heatseeker chart (the album's hit single "Hit or Miss" reached number 15 on the US modern rock chart). From the Screen to the Stereo would make the top 40 of the Heatseeker charts in 2002.
The band's profile would grow in 2001 with a support slot to a blink-182 tour and a slot on the Warped Tour. The band recorded the Sticks and Stones album in late 2001 for release in the middle of 2002. Sticks and Stones would prove to be their breakthrough record debuting at number 4 on the Billboard album charts selling 91,000 albums in the first week of sales and also reaching the top ten of the UK album charts. The album would spawn two singles namely
* "My Friends Over You" reached number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2002, number 11 in Canada, number 5 on the US modern rock chart and number 2 on a MP3.com download chart.
* "Head on Collision" went top 30 on both the Canadian singles charts and the US modern rock chart.
New Found Glory headlined the 2002 Warped Tour, and headlined again in 2004.
New Found Glory released Catalyst in May 2004 and it debuted at number 3 of the Billboard album chart in late May selling 146,000 albums in its first week of release. The album would also debut in the top 40 of the UK and Australian album charts. The first single "All Downhill from Here" would go top 20 on both US and a composite world modern rock chart (based on the US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Finland and Australian charts) as at the end of May 2004.
Contrary to the band's announcement on Fuse's Daily Download on March 28, 2005, James Dewees of The Get Up Kids and Reggie and the Full Effect (who had previously provided keyboards for the song "Failure's Not Flattering" on Catalyst and toured with the band as a sixth member for about ten months) did not permanently join New Found Glory, due to his busy schedule with his own band.
Chad Gilbert would also form a hardcore band called Hazen Street with Freddie Cricien and Hoya of Madball, Toby Morse of H2O, David Kennedy formerly of Box Car Racer, and Mackie Jayson formerly of Cro-Mags. However, due to an exclusivity clause in New Found Glory's contract with Universal Music, Gilbert will not be allowed to be a part of Hazen Street, despite co-writing the majority of their debut album's material.
A fifth album called "Coming Home" was released in the September 19, 2006.
From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II is the second cover album by New Found Glory, and is a follow up from the 2000 EP From the Screen to Your Stereo. All the tracks are covers of songs from movies. The album was released September 18th 2007. The US version of the CD (and therefore minus 'Hungry Eyes') leaked online on September 6th 2007.
New Found Glory's seventh album of original material, Radiosurgery, will be released on October 4, 2011. The Radiosurgery Songfacts explains that the title is a metaphor, referencing the way radiosurgery allows non-invasive treatment of tumors as an analogy for dealing with those tough situations in life that need healing.
The band released their first live album "Kill It Live" on October 8, 2013.
In December 2013, it was announced by the bands Facebook page that founding member Steve Klein (guitar) had been kicked out due to personal reasons. No decision has been made on a new guitarist yet.
They released their 8th album Resurrection on October 7, 2014.
The band released their 9th and latest album Makes Me Sick on April 28, 2017.

Make It Right
New Found Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is more to see
But use discretion
This ride isn't free
I'll prove them wrong
I'll prove them all wrong
The more I sit here,
The more that I think
Every mistake I make
From now on
I'll turn around
I'll make it, I'll make it right
And every truth I fake I
Might hurt someone
I'll make it, I'll make it alright
Pins and needles
Are up and down my spine
I'll pull them out one by one
I don't need it all
Give it away
The more I breathe in,
The more is seaps through
It's a numbing feeling,
This is what I'll do
Every mistake I make
From now on
I'll turn around
I'll make it, I'll make it right
And every truth I fake I
Might hurt someone
I'll make it, I'll make it alright
Every mistake I make
From now on
I'll turn around
I'll make it, I'll make it right
And every truth I fake I
Might hurt someone
I'll make it, I'll make it alright
I'll make it alright
The lyrics to New Found Glory's "Make It Right" are all about taking control and taking responsibility. The opening lines, "Focus on me, there is more to see, but use discretion, this ride isn't free," sets the tone for the song, urging the listener to pay attention to the singer and their journey. The singer then declares, "I'll prove them wrong, I'll prove them all wrong," showing a determination and drive to succeed in the face of doubters. The line, "The more I sit here, the more that I think," suggests that the singer has been reflective and is ready to take action.
The chorus then repeats the message of taking responsibility for their actions, both past and present. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes, but they are committed to turning things around and making them "right." However, they also acknowledge that sometimes the truth can hurt, but they are willing to face the consequences of their actions and make things "alright."
The second verse uses the metaphor of "pins and needles" to describe the discomfort that can come with change and growth. The singer acknowledges that it can be a difficult process, but they are willing to endure that discomfort in order to let go of what no longer serves them. They again emphasize their commitment to taking action and "making it right."
Overall, "Make It Right" is a song about taking control and taking responsibility for one's life. The singer acknowledges the mistakes they have made and the discomfort that comes with growth, but they are determined to move forward, make things right, and prove their doubters wrong.

Focus on me
Pay attention to my words and actions
There is more to see
There are hidden depths and meanings to my words and actions
But use discretion
Be cautious and thoughtful with your actions and responses
This ride isn't free
There will be consequences and sacrifices along the way
I'll prove them wrong
I will demonstrate that I am capable and deserving of success
I'll prove them all wrong
I will surpass the expectations and doubts of others
The more I sit here,
The more I reflect and contemplate
The more that I think
The more insights and ideas I generate
Every mistake I make
Whenever I err or stumble
From now on
Starting from this moment
I'll turn around
I will learn from my mistakes and change course
I'll make it, I'll make it right
I will correct my errors and redeem myself
And every truth I fake I
Whenever I deceive or hide my true self
Might hurt someone
It could cause harm or damage to others
I'll make it, I'll make it alright
I will apologize and atone for my lies and mistakes
Pins and needles
Anxiety and unease
Are up and down my spine
Affecting my entire body and psyche
I'll pull them out one by one
I will face and overcome my fears and worries
I don't need it all
I don't need to be perfect or have everything
Give it away
Let go of my ego and possessions
The more I breathe in,
The more I absorb and experience
The more is seaps through
The more I realize and understand
It's a numbing feeling,
An emotional detachment and disconnection
This is what I'll do
I will face and overcome this feeling
I'll make it alright
I will persevere and overcome these challenges
