New Found Glory Share New Album Details (‘Listen Up!’)

As they prepare for a UK headline tour next month, New Found Glory have revealed plans to release their first album in six years. It’s called ‘Listen Up!’ and will be released on February 20th, 2026, via Pure Noise Records.

The pop-punk legends’ 12th studio album is described as “a collection of songs about resilience and hope through hard times.” “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,” New Found Glory say in a press release. “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.”

While the album’s lyrical core reflects on hard times, its 10 tracks also look back on the “good ol’ days” as New Found Glory remind themselves of what has made them who they are today.

An example of that can be heard on their new single, ‘Laugh It Off.’ With its crunching guitars and the band’s signature hook-y tendencies firmly on show, the track is a celebration of lifelong friendships. “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 band recalls. “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 Will be Back in the UK This Month!

As mentioned above, New Found Glory will be returning to the UK next month for their first headline tour in eight years. They’ll be joined by Real Friends and Koyo.
