New Found Glory – Listen Up! [Tropical Sunset Marble]

The New Found Glory Listen Up! [Tropical Sunset Marble] vinyl is the physical artifact of a band refusing to coast, pressing their eleventh studio album onto a variant that suits the mood: warm, vivid, and a little unexpected. This is the first New Found Glory record on Pure Noise Records, catalog number PNE 4501, and it arrives at a significant moment for the Coral Springs, Florida quartet as they close in on three decades together.

New Found Glory and the Weight Behind Listen Up!

Jordan Pundik, Ian Grushka, Cyrus Bolooki, and guitarist Chad Gilbert wrote this album face-to-face at Gilbert’s Nashville home, working riff-first through material shaped by Gilbert’s battle with metastatic cancer. That context is not incidental. It runs through the record’s urgency and its gratitude, the way the hooks feel earned rather than assembled. Producer Steve Evetts, who knows this band’s sonic vocabulary well, helmed the sessions, with Four Year Strong’s Dan O’Connor contributing alongside. The result draws comparisons to Sticks and Stones and Catalyst without simply retreating to them. Songs like first single “100%,” road-tested on tour with The Offspring and Jimmy Eat World, and the plainspoken “Beer And Blood Stains” carry the kind of directness that comes from having something real to say. Ten tracks, no filler, no detours.

Why the New Found Glory Listen Up! [Tropical Sunset Marble] Vinyl Belongs in Your Collection

The Tropical Sunset Marble pressing takes the visual weight of the record seriously. The colorway, swirling warm tones pressed by Pure Noise under catalog number PNE 4501, is a limited variant designed for collectors who want something beyond the standard issue. New Found Glory’s catalog on colored wax has always moved quickly among fans who grew up with this band, and a debut release on a new label tends to mark a moment in a discography. This is that release. Whether you have been with them since Nothing Gold Can Stay or came in through later records, this pressing represents a band operating with intention at a point in their story that carries genuine meaning.
