Essential pop punk band New Found Glory has just announced a remarkable live pairing with Chris Carrabba’s influential outfit Dashboard Confessional for a one of a kind North America tour with a proceeding headlining run of warm-up dates to kick off the tour in support of their new video & single “Don’t Let Her Pull You Down.” New Found Glory’s recent Epitaph release “Not Without A Fight” is a triumphant return to form by the much beloved melodic punk band. The Onion AV Club remarked of their Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) produced album, “New Found Glory still hits hard enough to matter” while the Houston Press said, “these guys have distilled their sound wisely, tightening every aspect and embracing their ultra-catchy core.”

In a time of ever changing lineups and near constant band breakups, New Found Glory is a refreshing anomaly, having maintained the same hilarious hard rocking roster for over ten years. As the band explains, “You fight with your mom. You don’t hang out with her all the time. But you love her! You’re never going to hate her. We’re family. It might sound cliché, but that’s what it is.”

And with New Found Glory’s dynamic new release, these five friends have without question reinstated themselves as premiere practitioners of riotous hook infused punk. And so it only fitting that they take their beloved prank filled energetic live show on the road for what will undoubtedly be one of the year’s most heartfelt and electrifying tours. As the band explains, “New Found Glory is back to where we want it to be: we tour, we play music and it’s from the heart.”
