New Found Glory formed in Coral Springs, Florida in the late 90s and basically defined what pop punk sounded like for a generation. Their self-titled debut in 2000 and follow-up "From the Screen to Your Stereo" established them as the band that could write hooks sharp enough to stick in your head for years. "My Friends Over You" became their signature moment—a song about choosing your friends over a relationship that somehow resonated way beyond its simple premise. They've kept at it for over two decades, never chasing trends but not quite willing to disappear either. The band's been through lineup changes and label shifts, but they've maintained the core appeal: earnest, melodic rock that doesn't require you to be fifteen to appreciate, even if it definitely hits different when you are.

Shows are loud singalongs where everyone knows the words. Crowd's genuinely there for it, not just going through the motions. They play the hits without irony and the energy never really dips. People lose their minds in the best way possible.

Known for My Friends Over You, Head on Collision, Dressed to Kill, All the Same, This Disaster

New Found Glory has maintained a quiet presence in Boston's pop-punk circles over the years. Their August 2024 stop at Roadrunner felt characteristically understated—a stripped-down three-song set that leaned into deeper material. Opening with 'Constant Static' set a reflective tone, followed by the contemplative 'Whiskey Rose' and 'Radio Adelaide,' songs that revealed the band's more introspective side rather than chasing the obvious anthems. It was the kind of show that rewards people who've been paying attention.

Boston's punk and alternative scene has deep roots, but pop-punk never quite dominated the way it did in other cities. That said, the city's always appreciated bands that could write a hook and still mean it. New Found Glory fits that mold—skilled songwriting wrapped in genuine emotion, which is exactly what Boston crowds tend to respect.

Stay in the Back Bay neighborhood—it's walkable, lined with brownstones, and positioned between the best dining and the waterfront. Book a table at No. 9 Park for New American cooking that actually justifies the hype, or hit Oleana in nearby Cambridge if you want something fresher and less fussy. Spend an afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a genuinely strange and rewarding art collection housed in a deliberately eccentric mansion. The Prudential Center has decent shopping if that's your thing, and the waterfront is legitimately beautiful for a walk before the show.
