New Found Glory October 12, 2007

Coral Springs, FL, punk band New Found Glory formed in the summer of 1997 and is made up of vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki. Hit the Lights is a pop punk band from Lima, Ohio, signed to Triple Crown Records. The band formed in 2003, taking their name from the Metallica song, and quickly found a devoted following with their energetic live performances. Atlanta rockers Cartel gained significant promotional boosts from Yahoo!, MySpace, AOL, AbsolutePunk.net and PureVolume.net, leading to their successful single 'Honestly,' which in turn earned them more exposure via their music video on MTVU and Fuse. They also made the lineup on the 2006 VANS Warped Tour. No wonder Alternative Press called Cartel "a band you need to know." The Early November is a New Jersey-based pop-punk band with a flair for irony.
