Jordan and I both went to the Art Institute in Ft. Laud and we met for the first time when he approached me in the parking lot after hearing me pull in blasting Avail. He took me to a local music store, Uncle Sams, and showed me tons of bands I had never heard of. Got me into Saves the Day, Cave In, and Hot Water Music that day. I started doing the label with John shortly after that time. Great band and great people.

It was also featured in Burnout 3. That game and this song in particular is what turned me on to New Found Glory 👍

I saw NFG open for Less Than Jake WAY before they got big. My buddy was a HUGE HUGE fan and was up front singing the entire time. After their set they went out of their way to find him and thank him for knowing the words. They actually hung out with us for a while talking music. When Chad found out I was into hardcore he 1) thanked me for not shouting out "play a Shain Hulud Song!" Because apparently it was happening at almost every show and 2) Started talking to me about new hardcore bands he was into and asking who I was listening to. They were the nicest guys and it was so amazing for us because we kind of saw them as this big untouchable band and they wanted to stand around and talk to us.

Hearing Hit or Miss for the first time in 2000 was a life changer. Jordan also sounds the same as he always has despite doing this for so long and always being on tour.

NFG takes me back to high school and college. Soundtrack to staying up late with my friends, relationships, eating Taco Bell, skating, and playing beer pong. Saw them at Warped 2012 and met Ian Grushka. Hooked me and buddies up with beer(we were underage lol). Definitely one of those only at Warped Tour moments

The way you mentioned Chads departure from Shai Hulud sparks some hope for an entire episode on Shai Hulud. That would be highly appreciated. Also great that you mentioned the Tip Of The Iceberg EP on Bridge Nine, although you left out their fun Straight Edge project International Superheroes of Hardcore. Thanks

Im 32 and ive enjoyed this band all my life! I remember being a kid and i was asleep, there was my friends over you playing on tv and it bled into my dream and i was going around telling people how much i like this song XD

Absolutely one of the most important "bands" for this 38 year old...Mind you Satisfaction is the Death of Desire is one of the most important albums ever in my life- NFG still opened my eyes to so many very amazing and important bands to my life.

Seeing them with Blink and Bodyjar in 2001 was kind of a life changing experience. I was already a big fan of NFG, but that whole show made me start my first band.

Just saw them on tour last week. They still put on a great show. Takes me back to freshman year and finding out who I was and who I wanted to become.

I saw NFG open for Blink on the TOYPAJ tour and didn't really know them that well yet. Sticks and Stones is still in my rotation constantly. "Sonny" is one of the best song about loss I have ever heard.

I will never get tired of these guys. One of the best pop punk bands to ever do it

Finn I'd love you so much if you did a strange history on 311, which is one of your most played artists of all time

"sticks & stones" is one of the best and most influential pop punk albums ever at every point : lyrics, music, engineering, mastering etc. masterpiece

NFG is from Coral Springs, not Coral Gables (Which is about 30 miles South). It was amazing growing up here in Broward County and watching their journey unfold as a teenager myself at the time. All of us that were in the local Hardcore/Punk/Pop-punk scenes knew each other, NFG members included. They were our friends ultimately. Watching them blow up was so awesome yet became bittersweet when they stopped playing locally frequently. I remember the first time they played back here again after becoming well known. They put a show together at Coral Springs Sportsplex which was not a music venue by any means. They did so to honor where we grew up from, and it was an epic night. The fact that they're still making good music and touring is amazing as well. Thanks for making this video. I've been watching you for years now and I think this is the first time I'm commenting. Great content man.

My first concert in sixth grade was finch, something corporate, and NFG. It changed my life and I’ve seen them live about 20 times since. I still have a pick from Ian them 20 something years ago. To this day best band I’ve seen live, and favorite.

You should do a video on the goo goo dolls. they started as a punk band with their bassist on vocals and then slowly shifted to alt-rock and were signed by metal blade of all record labels!

Are you kidding me the guitar tone on coming home is incredible... That whole album is a masterpiece of sound

Hybrid Theory was the first CD ever gifted to me, but NFG's self titled album in 2000 was the first CD I ever purchased on my own, I was like 10 at Walmart and fascinated by the cover art (I wasn't sure if they were water balloons or colorful condoms at the time), turned out to be a great album.

They perfected pop punk by combining 90’s emo and hardcore. One of my all time favorite bands.

My favorite band since 2000 when I found them on Napster, I’ve seen them live over 50 times and they still rock. Chad & Cyrus are super cool guys. And I still love Nothing Gold Can Stay. ❤

I was a big fan of these guys in the early 2000s. I'm happy that I got to see them several times. Their live shows had great energy and their sound was just as good as the album. Nice job on this one Papa Finn! 👍

Perfect timing Finn! Just saw them for the 12th time this past weekend. Love love love NFG. They bring the energy every show. I really can't understand how they didn't get bigger when they're absolutely superior musicians to Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, etc. Anyways, I've got similar parallels to your history w/ them (and the band itself). Heard Self-Titled and it was everything I'd ever wanted musically. Bad breakups and lovey dovey at the same periods of releases. Kinda funny. Anyways, one thing I will say is I feel Coming Home is absolutely perfect and one of my faves. It's incredibly well-written and has almost a classic rock type quality to it. NFG is incredibly influential yet often overlooked. Thanks for this!

I agree. I would put them up against Good Charlotte any day. I used to have this argument back in the day because I always thought they were a much better band

I'm 34 and NFG has been my favorite band since 1999!

So cool to see this video, I was just having a conversation with one of my buddie's who was always a little more into the heavy side of the scene that NFG would probably be the band I'd pick if I was stuck on an island and could only take one band's discography. Just a fantastic era in music to be growing up in the hardcore/punk/pop era it transformed

I listen to NFG every day without fail and have done for years, the best of the best

I remember reading somewhere that Chad described NFG as the "super mario of music", which is exactly how I see it, their tracks are timeless joy

Foundational band for me. Love that self titled album. I’d wait for My Friends Over You on MTV all day!!

So iconic and I feel like they are really underrated. I distinctly remember discovering them on a Drive Thru Records sampler CD with a bunch of new artists. Had to go back and dig up that CD. Anyone else remember "You'll Never Eat Fast Food Again"? So many classics that I've forgotten about. Allister, Fenix TX, Midtown, RX Bandits.... Man, maybe I'm just old, but I miss the days of going to the record store, and finding new artists like this, and then going to the back desk to get $10 tickets to a show that were just printed on card stock

You’re not alone

I was really hoping you would mention Superheroes of Hardcore. That is the jokey hardcore band that NFG did where chad was on vocals and Jordan was on guitar. Really fun stuff like Madball's Got Your Back. Also, probably my favorite NFG influenced band is Set Your Goals.

You mentioned a Snapcase poster and it triggered a memory of the 2000 Warped Tour in Jacksonville Florida when I fractured my wrist, but the other guy had a busted up nose. It was all an accident and of course I apologized to the guy and made sure he was good. 10 days later I wheeled into the emergency room with a cast on my arm and now a broken ankle that took a plate and 10 screws to fix… that was from another show, which was my best friends in a band called Order By Chaos (OBC) from Jacksonville

New Found Glory was actually formed in Coral SPRINGS...not Coral Gables. They also went to Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. I remember seeing them back in the day and when they were a cover band.

Oh hell yeah. Been waiting for this video. Felt like they've been under represented in your pop punk videos inadvertently.

NFG has always been a band I loved and it always felt they fell under the radar since I didn't grow up in the haydays of pop punk. They may not be as big as blink 182 is today but they sure as hell have left the same impact on the world of pop punk as blink did and are tbh way beter musicians

NFG shaped my adolescence. love everything about them growing up florida in the 90's 2000's was amazing.

Long time NFG fan since my teens, this video almost brought me to tears. Bc they really are so influential to my youth and even now 🖤

Finn you did it again AND THATS AN UNDERSTATEMENT WOH OHHHHH

I just saw them over the weekend with MCS. Both bands are can't miss concerts. Excellent energy; excellent crowd work; excellent band.

New found glory's catalyst was literally the first album i bought with my own money. I was probably like 12 at the time. There will never be another album that i will have listened to more than that album. Great video again Finn. When i saw you were talking about NFG i was like no way!

Definitely one of my top five favorite bands. 2nd next to blink. Met all five of them before a show when they toured with Eisley and Reggie and the full effect. They were all super rad! Legit were constantly played during my high school years. I still have one of their shirts I bought back in 03’.

Been waiting for a video on NFG. They're my personal favorite band. Grew up listening to them and still do on a regular basis. Somehow ended up being in the top 0.05% of NFG Spotify listeners last year lol. I just love that, aside from Coming Home, whenever NFG puts out an album, you generally know what you're gonna get. Some people may find that off putting, but I like it because each album has its own sound, but it's still very much NFG every time. They're just a big time comfort band for me, if that makes sense. That being said, count me as one of those fans who didn't really like Coming Home when it came out, but have come to appreciate it a lot in recent years.

Would love to see NFG again live. Great show. Just saw Senses Fail (my all-time fave band) play live in NYC last week and let me tell you-they honestly sounded better than ever! Proud to be an "elder-emo"!! 😆🤘🏻

NFG were my first live concert when I was like 15- 37 now, fell off after sticks and stones, but still listen to Self Titled often. Loved them, influenced my taste a lot. Shout out to them for bring TSL and finch along too, didn't get a lot of gigs like that at the time (UK)

I’m excited to watch this vid, I’ve been wanting you to talk about NFG for a while now!

I've wanted this video for years!! Loved it!

I love don't let her pull you down also. I wasn't event that much into pop punk at the time but I stumbled upon it while going through a really tough time and it always cheered me up when I listened to it. Hadn't heard it in years, still a belter of a song!

yo this vid being released today which is my birthday is pretty fucking cool! i'm 41 nfg is one of my all time favorite bands and of the few bands where i actually still listen to their new albums, having also been a fan of hardcore for a large portion of my life it was always cool seeing nfg represent hardcore bands in subtle ways like wearing bands shirts, having posters and stickers in their vids i recall one of them having gorilla biscuits on vinyl in an mtv cribs and even low key stuff like having members of bane, madball and h20 doing backing vocals on their songs, they are one of the funnest shows i've ever seen live easycore is one of the best genres to ever exist and they set it off!

Great video. That was a spot-on call on Catalyst being the start of Easycore. Plus, I think I can take credit for Finn finally making a shout-out to The Get Up Kids.

Hugely underrated in the UK!!! People really don’t realise their hardcore roots, Catalyst is just perfection. However Coming Home is my fave NFG Album. Just felt personal as well as super catchy chorus’ 🤘🏽🖤

I met Gabe from Midtown while they were opening for New Found Glory, he was one of the nicest guys. This was back when bands actually rooted for each other to succeed

I remember Not Without a Fight coming out in the era where you could upload your cds onto xbox 360 and make them the custom soundtracks for your games. I played so many hours of nhl 09 with that album playing in the menus.

I’ve heard of New Found Glory when I was younger, but I didn’t really start getting into them until late 2018 early 2019, then I started listening to them a lot more in the middle of the pandemic and started learning a lot of their songs on guitar and bass, I got to see them live in 2021 and 20,22 respectively, and I even got to play guitar with them on stage during their VIP Soundcheck

I LOOOVE NFG. They’ll always be one of my top 5

The best band to ever do it. There’s so much to their history that is worth mentioning outside of the studio releases-all of the FTSTYS releases are undeniable, ISHC RULES. Their recent history is really worth note as well. More needs to be celebrated about how much they’ve accomplished in the last 5 years. Chad’s current battle with cancer and him kicking its butt like a champ and bringing awareness to pheochromocytoma. Musically, Makes Me Sick shows them experimenting with different sounds, their Christmas album with all originals is a new classic, F+ExI is one of their greatest albums to date, and then signing with Rev for the acoustic LP is pretty iconic in and of itself and is a full circle moment for the band’s love of hardcore. This band is still super rad and doing it big on their own terms.

NFG are the most important band of my life. They turned me from "that spotty, awkward nerd" to "the guy who intruduces us to great music" They inspired me to take on guitar and drums and start my own band. They gave me the confidence to achieve everything I achieved in my life. Years later I was on the only gig they ever played in Czechia. It was on a relatively uncool boomer festival and they noticed I was the only one who parties and sings along the whole time. And they invited me to stage and handed me a microphone to sing Failure's not Flattering with them. It truly was the best moment of my life.

About time! Thank you sir.

I saw their show in Tampa with Good Charlotte and MXPX… first concert I ever saw. I was 11

Crucial video, man. They remain one of my favorite bands of all time. I'm about to be 40 next month and a lot of these clips take me back. Much love from TX, and I still wear Dickies cuz fug it!

Seen them 47x and counting. NFG lifer.

Saw them a few weeks ago chad has cancer and is still rocking out i hope he has a speedy and healthy recovery

The Dickies and Hurley shirt era really was a good one. I second that notion. 🙏🏻🙌🏻 Time sure flies, 20 years! Geez! 🤯

Well said, NFG is a hardcore band through and through I met Chad at Warped Tour in like 03. There was a sticker on his amp for a super small Wisconsin hardcore band (I’m from Wi, so it NFG’s sound guy). We spent like 20 minutes talking about Midwest hardcore and he asked what bands he should check out.

Coming Home is such a nice change of pace. Has some amazing bangers.

I'm watching this thinking "man he's making these long form videos while making smaller videos for the second chanel. Just making content all day everyday like "let me just turn the camera on and talk about why nu-metal sucks or is good or whatever" you're gold bro

Nothing gold can stay is still one of my favorite albums ever - and I turned 40 yesterday lol.

NFG will always have a special place in my heart. My Friends Over You still gets stuck in my head. NFG is just an overall fun band to listen to, and there's always an NFG song to fit the mood. Id make a top 5 list, but there's too many great bands to list.

The Civic tour was my first show I got to go to with one of my friends in highschool and second concert ever. That lineup was perfect. New Found, Good Charlotte, MxPx, and The Movie Life.

Seeing them tomorrow in LA with my brother who’s a huge fan, I love this band. They have plenty of memorable songs that have stood the test of time, NFG forever

I’ve been waiting for a loooong time for this video. Love your stuff man.

One of my favorite bands ever ❤. Back in 2019 they made an appearance and guest DJ’d at EmoNite here in L.A. Within the crowd outside the venue, I saw Jordan just talking to some guy. I was too shy to ask for a pic so my husband asked for me,lol. Jordan was cool and nice enough to take a picture with me. Needless to say, that made me super happy 😅

I think that Coming Home has some of their catchiest and most timeless songs. Oxygen is still probably my favourite NFG song of all time. Make It Right is a banger and the whole album as a whole is just really pleasant to listen to.

Saw them live a couple of months ago and they still kill it. Seen them at least 12 times over the years and its always great.

Nailed it as per usual, Finn.. except one major mistake - New Found Glory is from CORAL SPRINGS, not Coral Gables.. I grew up in Coral Springs & remember NFG as a local band and I remember seeing them at the Coral Springs Sportsplex in 2001 with Finch and Something Corporate right as they were starting to blow up on MTV.. I also remember their younger siblings joining bands; like Jordan little brother Dickey & Steve's brother Dave.. I remember Dave showing my friends & I the raw demo tracks for Catalyst. I also worked at the NFG family-owned, Solid Sound Studios as a sound engineer for a number of years & booked NFG to play in the large rehearsal space we had there around 2012 or 2013-ish for about 150-200 kids all crammed in that rehearsal space; singing every word right back at them.. A friend at the time, Nash even got to hop on drums in place of Cyrus for a song or two.. good times.. NFG will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.. they were (and will always be) soundtrack to my life.

Been waiting for this day, appreciate you Fin for this one

Just a heads up, they’re from Coral Springs, Florida. A western suburb in Broward country. Coral Gables is a posh neighborhood in Miami where the University of Miami is located.

Coming Home is my fave album of theirs. And I've been a fan since the start.

I love NfG, and really enjoyed this video. I would have liked a deeper dive into their later albums.

Yesss I'm so excited for this one! 🙌🏻

Became a fan real late around the time of Makes me Sick (although I had heard their stuff before then) so I discovered a lot of their music out of order, and its funny to hear Coming Home is the black sheep of their discography, as its maybe my favorite of theirs. I even pushed real hard (unsuccessfully) to have Make Your Move be my wife and I's first dance at our wedding.

Saw these guys a couple times in like '99-'00. At one point someone in the audience said "Play that one song that has that breakdown in 'D'!" Jordan said "Dude, you have to be more specific. All of our songs have a breakdown in 'D'"!"

The greatest pop punk band hands down ill forever love new found glory.

Forever + Ever x Infinity has some the best songs they've written in my opinion. Greatest of All Time and Himalaya are right up there with their golden era songs IMO.
