Make The Most Of It (Yellow Vinyl) (Import)
The forthcoming acoustic album, “Make The Most Of It,” by New Found Glory tackles the last year head-on with their most emotional and cathartic collection of songs to date.
Written in the wake of guitarist Chad Gilbert’s cancer diagnosis and mixed by Mark Trombino (Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World), “Make The Most Of It” is a rumination on what it means to grieve, to live, to approach every day with appreciation and a sense of fulfillment.
Gilbert and his bandmates – vocalist Jordan Pundik, bassist Ian Grushka, and drummer Cyrus Bolooki – are all husbands and fathers, and as elder statesmen of the pop-punk genre (though still able to incite a circle pit with ease), “Make The Most Of It” finds the quartet contemplating the future, what they hope their loved ones will hang on to, and how they’ll be remembered.
