Renowned pop-punk band New Found Glory recently announced their newest album Listen Up!, which is set to release on February 20, 2026. This marks the band’s first full-length album in six years, and their first release since signing to Pure Noise Records. The upcoming record will deal with themes such as resilience and maintaining hope through tough times, as shown by the previous single release “100%”. Preorder the album HERE.
About the new album, the band shares: “The overall message/theme of this album is to encourage hope through hard times, while also looking at the world as somewhat of a fly on a wall: seeing people’s fear, negativity, and stress about small things that only scratch the surface of what life will eventually – but bring in a hopeful way. We want to encourage hope that the hard times will bring growth and strength. So the music is super fun and anthemic and loose feeling. We’re singing loud and proud about the scars and not in a pity party sort of way.”
They continue: “There’s also a lot of reflection. We’re looking back at the good ol’ days as reminders of all we've been through in life that led us to the people we are today. Sonically the album has that juxtaposition too. It’s fun pop melodies mixed with the heavier, riffed songs.”
Listen Up! Tracklist:
1. Boom Roasted
2. 100%
3. Laugh It Off
4. A Love Song
5. Beer and Blood Stains
6. Medicine
7. Treat Yourself
8. Dream Born Again

10. Frankenstein's Monster
In addition to the album announcement, New Found Glory released the newest single from the record, “Laugh It Off”. Stream the track HERE and watch the official music video below:
About “Laugh It Off”, the band shares: “This is an upbeat song based around this lead riff that recurs throughout, while the lyrics are about being on each other’s case in a relationship at times. But you get so lost in the debate that you have to stop and laugh. The connection is so deep that you always end up acknowledging that it was a silly argument. And you always end up laughing, especially in the middle of the argument when someone pronounces something wrong or says something backwards. Life’s too short to get hung up on the little passing things.”
New Found Glory has recently finished touring across North America on The Offspring’s “Supercharged: Worldwide in 2025” tour along with Jimmy Eat World. The band will be back on the road next month for several UK headliner shows, with Real Friends and Koyo joining as support. They will also make a few festival appearances, including the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and Australia’s Good Things Festival, and even Indonesia’s Hammersonic 2026. Get tickets HERE.
