NEW FOUND GLORY
Jordan Pundik: Vocals
Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein: Guitars
Ian Grushka: Bass

Formed: 1997 in Coral Springs, Florida
Coral Springs, Florida is the home of palm trees,
sea breezes, senior citizen trailer parks and the loud
thrashing punk/metal of New Found Glory.
By the Summer of '97, high schoolers, Jordan,
Chad, Ian and Cyrus tried to beat the odds of being
Coral Springs' first metal thrash band and did so
quite the hard way.
It took the band a year of touring the Florida
coast to land their first EP set entitled It's All
About The Girls. Selling out wherever sold, the band
was quick to follow it up with the complete album,
Nothing Gold Can Stay by 1999.
Enough interest from MCA landed then their debut
record contract and gave Nothing Gold Can Stay a more
productive release in the mainstream.
It was in 2000 that New Found Glory released their
first set of new material for MCA entitled New Found
Glory and helped the band receive top mentions as one
of the year's best new bands from many publications.
