Pop punk legends New Found Glory are set to release their new acoustic album, Make the Most of It, on Jan. 20 via Revelation Records. Featuring seven new tracks – written following Chad Gilbert’s cancer diagnosis – and seven live acoustic versions of favorites, the album finds the band connecting with fans in a whole new way.
“Even though the songs are sadder, they’re still hopeful,” Gilbert said in a statement. “You hear so much online about mental health and fear and anxiety. I feel proud that we can release an album with joy and honesty in a way that will hopefully make people less fearful of life. A lot of times we punish ourselves for things that might never happen. I’m going through something that did happen, but doing it with hope and joy and a greater appreciation.”
In support of Make the Most of It, New Found Glory is hitting the road on an acoustic tour. Leanna Firestone will be on hand to open each show and there is a Chicago performance set to take place at Thalia Hall on March 11.
