New Found Glory Put Up Fight

01/07/09 3:47pm

Pop-punk may not be the juggernaut that it was earlier this decade, but New Found Glory are out to do their part for the cause. If the genre continues to decline, it will be Not Without A Fight.

That's the title of the Florida group's sixth studio album, which will be released on March 10 by Epitaph. The band's first record for the label was produced by former Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus (Motion City Soundtrack, The Matches) and mixed by Neil Avron (Fall Out Boy).

Lead single "Listen To Your Friends" is featured on New Found Glory's MySpace page along with a video game and exclusive webisodes that will be rolled out on a weekly basis.

Three New Found Glory albums have been certified gold for selling 500,000 copies in the U.S.: 2000's self-titled effort; 2002's Sticks And Stones; and 2004's Catalyst.

Singer Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki will keep up the fight here:
