New Found Glory are one of the most hard working
bands of the past ten years, in that time they have
released 8 studio albums, yeah a couple are full
of cover songs from different movies but it’s
still a full length album that the boys of new Found
Glory have worked hard on, they have also released
a number of EP’s and split CD’s yet
they are still not headlining arenas across the
world like they should be, they should be right
up there with bands like Green Day and Blink 182
but for some reason the New Found Glory fan base
has always remained the same and they are forever
playing the Academy sized venues across the UK rather
than the arenas I truly think they deserve to be
selling out and in my opinion New Found Glory are
very under rated.
The band are now signed to Epitaph Records, which
happens to be one of the best labels around for
punk rock, who seem to be signing some very good
bands at the moment. Anyway the label are releasing
the New album from New Found Glory called ‘Won’t
Go Down Without A Fight’ on the 9th March,
the album has been produced by the one and only
Mark Hoppus and has been mixed by Neil Avron.
‘Won’t Go Down Without A Fight’
keeps to the same formula that New found Glory
have been going by for their whole career, its
proper fists in the air sing-along poppy punk
that’s crammed full of catchy hooks and
well written witty lyrics.
The album starts with ‘Right Where we Left
Off’ which in all fairness does pick up
from where New Found Glory left off just like
each and every one of their album’s does,
the song is as bouncy as any other New Found glory
song that you can think of and so is the chorus
as catchy and sing-along as you have come to expect
from New Found Glory now.
‘Don’t Let Her Pull You Down’
is another pure poppy-punk song that is crammed
full of sing-along moments, group vocals, bouncy
basslines and foot stomping, head bopping guitar
riffs that are bound to blow you away.
‘Listen To your Friends’ is the first
new song that New Found Glory previewed off this
album on their MySpace and the song was instantly
a fan favourite and it’s easy to see why
just by listening to the pace of the song, it
flows so smoothly and builds up to become a really
fast paced melodic 3minute ride that you will
never forget.
The opening of ‘I’ll Never Love Again’
is another moment that I can’t see you forgetting
in a hurry, the instrumental work is amazing and
full of hooks, and once again group vocals that
kick arse.
The album finishes with ‘Don’t Let
This Be The End’, and the song is actually
one of the slowest songs on the album, not that
any of the songs on the album are slow, but this
song doesn’t came charging straight at you
with a forceful speed like the other songs on
the album, however the song quickly turns into
a sing-along affair right at the end with its
group vocals.
There are 12 songs on the album and they are
all powerful poppy-punk songs, and all I can think
is that it must get harder for New Found Glory
to pick a set list these days as the longer the
band go on the more songs they have and the better
their songs get, ‘Not Without A Fight’
is right up there as one of the best albums New
Found Glory have released.
5/5
