New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert Opens Up About Their New Era & 'Resurrection'
Since the late '90s, New Found Glory have been obliterating ear drums, rallying crowds with their gritty-gone-euphoric anthems and preaching the gospel of South Floridian pop-punk. They've got seven albums to show for the nearly two decades they've spent both breaking hearts and inspiring serious limb-flailing mosh pits, and their eighth record, Resurrection, is proving to be the most fruitful challenge they've confronted yet.
This has come at a significant, personal price. In 2014, New Found Glory faced their biggest hurdle to date when they parted ways with Steve Klein, a move that followed a number of personal conflicts and sex crime allegations the guitarist and lyricist was facing in December 2013. Since then, Cyrus Bolooki, Chad Gilbert, Ian Grushka and Jordan Pundik have not only continued to tour but embraced the new arrangement and worked out the turmoil and tension one riff at a time. Resurrection is their first foray into music as a four-piece, a confident, optimistic product of the tumultuous few months they spent figuring things out and meeting these massive changes head-on. Before heading out on the road in support of Resurrection, Chad Gilbert brought us up to speed on what exactly went on behind the closed doors of their studio as they said goodbye to one identity while moving towards another.
