New Found Glory, who hits the tri-state area next month, has released the music video for "Happy Being Miserable." This is the first single from their upcoming album, Makes Me Sick, due out April 28th via Hopeless Records. In addition to the new release, the band's tour celebrates their 20th Anniversary and fans will be able to hear select albums in their entirety released prior to 2010 at each tour date.
Directed by Max Moore in Nashville, TN, the creative concept for the video came from the band, who wanted to do their own version of the iconic puking scene from the movie "Stand By Me." On the video, guitarist Chad Gilbert shares, "NFG has always done a lot of pop culture movie references throughout our career, from cover songs to t-shirt spoofs. So with our album being called 'Makes Me Sick,' it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take that iconic scene and give it our own spin. Or maybe we just wanted to show that all bad situations can have a redemptive outcome if you let it. Are you just gonna let life puke all over you? Or are you gonna look beyond yourself, pull people together, and celebrate being alive."
The band's upcoming 10-track album was produced by Aaron Sprinkle (MxPx, Anberlin, Acceptance) and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge (U2, The Rolling Stones, Blink 182).
Many shows on the tour are sold out already, with remaining tickets available at newfoundglory.com. The band has local dates scheduled at Union Transfer in Philadelphia (March 23-24), The Stone Pony in Asbury Park (March 25-26), Starland Ballroom in Sayreville (March 28), and Irving Plaza in New York City (April 1-2).
New Found Glory is Jordan Pundik (lead vocals), Chad Gilbert (guitar), Ian Grushka (bass guitar) and Cyrus Bolooki (drums).
