New Found Glory

(Drive-Thru/MCA)
by Scott Hefflon

Gotta love these major label bios… Seems New Found Glory is challenging narrow definitions of punk and blending equal parts hardcore, emo and rock to position themselves at the forefront of the next generation of music. Oh pleeeze… They’re cute little dorkwads jumping genres as quickly as possible in a transparent attempt to get laid. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, call it what it is: pussy punkpop. They’re talented musicians and can ape a style immaculately, but it’s got no guts, no spine, and no credibility.
