One of the world’s biggest artist-owned labels Epitaph has just made their roster that little bit bigger with the signing of New Found Glory.
The band are currently in the studio working on their seventh album with producer Mark Hoppus (who was once in Blink 182) and it is expected to be out in the first half of next year.“Picking a new label was a scary thing for New Found Glory,” explains Chad Gilbert from the band.
“The music industry has been changing so much and more and more bands are being treated and presented like some Wal-Mart pop act with guitars. We have real diehard fans and we wanted to find a home that would represent NFG the right way. A label that knew our music scene. Epitaph is the place to be! They were all longtime, true fans of new found glory and they understand us. We aren't just some record to put out before the new Pussycat Dolls CD! A real music label. We were over the big business of the majors.”
Epitaph founder and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz said in a statement, “It’s my great pleasure to welcome NFG to the Epitaph family. Everybody here is over the moon about working with the greatest pop-punk band in history.”
