Bridge Nine Records, Epitaph Records and New Found Glory are proud to announce that Bridge Nine will be issuing the gatefold LP of New Found Glory’s upcoming album Not Without A Fight-being released by Epitaph March 10, 2009.
In the past decade, New Found Glory became a household name, releasing six timeless pop-punk full-lengths, three of which went gold. After years of working with both indie and major labels, New Found Glory has spent the last 12 months doing exactly what they want to do, on their own terms. 2008’s Tip Of The Iceberg EP was a short burst that featured the band returning to their roots of catchy, infectious melodies and a hardcore edge, and was hailed by press as a return to form for the gold-selling punk band. Absolutepunk stated that for fans of New Found Glory, the EP “gets [you] pumped for the band's next studio album, as this release is just the tip of the iceberg.”
The band's upcoming release, Not Without A Fight, is New Found Glory at their best. Recorded with Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus producing and mixed by long-time confidant Neal Avron (who mixed the gold-selling Sticks and Stones and Catalyst), Not Without A Fight was recorded during the summer of 2008 with the band calling the shots-no label, no one breathing down their necks- just the band writing and recording the record they wanted to record.
While the Bridge Nine and NFG collaboration last year on the split EP with alter egos, International Superheroes of Hardcore, was an unlikely partnership to some, to B9 and NFG it made perfect sense. Guitarist Chad Gilbert is an infamous hardcore kid and former frontman of hardcore band, Shai Hulud. Label manager Karl Hensel stated, “Working with New Found Glory throughout 2008 was an awesome experience. What started out as a four-song cover 7” has evolved into a friendship and respect between us and the band. On top of that, being able to work closely with Epitaph is a huge honor. Epitaph created the modern independent punk label template. We have really enjoyed working with New Found Glory and we're incredibly grateful that both NFG and Epitaph have allowed us to do what we do alongside them."
Not Without A Fight will be made available everywhere on vinyl via Bridge Nine Records on March 10th. Get nerdy.
