New Found Glory

Description

New Found Glory (formerly A New Found Glory) is an American pop punk band, that formed in 1997 in Coral Springs, Florida and is currently based in California.<p>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). The band's name, "A New Found Glory," was thought up by Pundik and Klein while working at Red Lobster, but they later dropped the 'A' because many fans had difficulty finding their records in stores. The band embarked on a series of early tours, which included tours with local band The Vacant Andys, whose lead singer, Chris Carrabba, would go on to form the bands Further Seems Forever and, most notably, Dashboard Confessional.<p>The band recorded their first EP called It's All About the Girls under Fiddler Records in June 1997.
