New Found Glory are Horrible Tattoo Artists in “Vicious Love”

With just a few hours until they are scheduled to take the stage at the Alternative Press Music Awards, New Found Glory has debuted the music video for their latest single, and our personal favorite track from Resurrection, “Vicious Love.”

The video features all the members of New Found Glory decked out in the worst fake beards and mustaches around. What’s even worse is that they’re tattoo artists who are horrible at what they do. From tattooing the wrong names on people to crossing out a tattoo a client wanted covered up with an orange marker, you can tell that the guys aren’t exactly good at their job. As a word of caution, just wait until you get to the tattoo that they “did” featuring Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and a lightsaber.

Check out the music video for “Vicious Love” below, but be warned, the song itself is not the original that was featured on their eighth studio album. This version of “Vicious Love” features Hayley Williams and will be featured on the upcoming re-issue of the 2014 release.

New Found Glory will be releasing Resurrection: Ascension on Oct. 9 through Hopeless Records. The re-issue will also feature two unheard tracks as well as the video’s version of “Vicious Love.”

The album will fittingly be released around the same time that their co-headlining tour with Yellowcard is slated to begin. Full tour dates  for that can be seen here.

What’s Eating Gilbert Prove “You’re the Most” with New Video

It’s been a couple of weeks since New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert announced his side band, What’s Eating Gilbert had officially signed with Hopeless Records and would be releasing their debut album, That New Sound You’re Looking For, later this summer.

Now, the WEG frontman has revealed the music video for the first single from the record, “You’re the Most.”

Like the group’s appearance, the video is set up to look like something straight out of the 1950s (think of Grease) with the clothes, appearance, record player in the bedroom, and of course, who can miss the picture of Elvis on the wall.

Check out the video below.

That New Sound You’re Looking For will be released on July 10 through Hopeless Records.

In support of the new album, What’s Eating Gilbert will be hitting the road with fellow Hopeless signee, Bayside’s Anthony Raneri for a month-long summer trek.

After that tour wraps, Gilbert will rejoin New Found Glory for their co-headlining tour with Yellowcard in the Fall.

Tour dates for What’s Eating Gilbert can be seen here while date for the New Found Glory/Yellowcard tour can be seen here.

Yellowcard and New Found Glory to Head Out on Tour

Can you believe that New Found Glory and Yellowcard have never gone out on a proper United States tour together?

You would think at one point it would have happened since they come out around the same time and have the same kind of fan base, but surprisingly, no.

If you’re currently telling the screen in front of you “no, that can’t be true,” turns out that it is because it came straight from the mouth of Yellowcard frontman, Ryan Key.

Last night, both bands released a joint video which shows Key playing cards with New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert when he points out his realization.

Nonchalantly, they agree to go on tour together and the rest is history.

As of now, there have been no official tour dates revealed, but as the video points out, Tigers Jaw will be their “special guest” for the U.S. trek.

We’re going to assume the tour will take place once Gilbert and his band, What’s Eating Gilbert, wrap up their Summer tour with Bayside’s Anthony Raneri.

Yellowcard released their latest studio album Lift A Sail last October, the same exact day New Found Glory released their latest record, Resurrection.

What’s Eating Gilbert to Release Debut Album This Summer

How do you follow-up two successful tours and a successful new album? By giving your side project a little bit of that love.

New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert revealed earlier in the day that his side project, What’s Eating Gilbert had not only signed to Hopeless Records, but that they will be releasing their official debut record this Summer.

The debut will be titled That New Sound You’re Looking For and is set to be released on July 10. Pre-orders and the lead single for the record will be available June 2.

“I’m excited to announce that it is finally time for me to release the first full-length What’s Eating Gilbert Album, That New Sound You’re Looking For, on July 10! I say finally because I actually recorded these 12 songs in January of 2014! Why have I waited so long to release it? Well, as most of you know, I play guitar in New Found Glory who have had an action packed last year and a half. Once Hopeless Records told me they wanted to release this album we both decided it was best to release it at a time when I could actually go out and play it for you!”

And he will definitely be able to do now that New Found Glory’s busy schedule has slowed down.

But things don’t end there. Gilbert and the rest of WEG will be hitting the road alongside Bayside’s Anthony Raneri as he embarks on a solo Summer tour.

Full tour dates can be seen below.

ANTHONY RANERI/WHAT’S EATING GILBERT SUMMER TOUR:

Watch New Found Glory Get Beaten and Bloodied in New Video

After weeks of teasing images from the set of their music video, New Found Glory have released the blood soaked and kind of violent clip for “One More Round.”

Check out the video below.

“One More Round” is featured on the band’s recent album, Resurrection which was released back in October through Hopeless Records.

The Florida-based band also announced plans to hit the road once more in support of the record. Last year, when Resurrection was released they headed out on the “Resurrection Tour” and now they will be heading out on the “Sleep When I Die” Tour (a lyric directly from one of the songs on the album, “Selfless”) with Turnstile, This Wild Life, and Turnover.

Full tour dates for that can be seen here.

Reading and Leeds Unveil Full 2015 Line-Up

If you though Bonnaroo had a cool way if veiling the artists for this year’s line-up, then Reading and Leeds might have a slightly cooler way of unveiling the third and final headliner for this year’s event.

The British festival took to Facebook to post anonymous letter which read: “Yeah, so I just woke up but like, I dunno, I just can’t stop thinking about Reading and Leeds and how much I’m looking forward to playing Reading and Leeds 2015.”

Everyone following were left to guess who the third headlining spot, alongside Metallica and Mumford and Sons, would be given to until Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show went live. During the show, it was revealed that the third headliner spot was given to The Libertines.

“Reading has always been a special festival to me, it’s where I misspent a lot of my youth. I saw Rage against the Machine there when I was a nipper, which inspired a lot in me. Zack de la Rocha set me on a path, he bridged the gap between my bedroom and Velvet Underground and Jimi Hendrix and the Doors and showed me what it really was to be up on that stage in front of all those people” frontman Carl Barat told NME about their big headlining gig.

“It’s pretty dizzying to be alongside Metallica, I used to love them when I was a kid. They were up there with Michael Jackson and James Dean.”

But while Barat and the rest of the Libertines (including a sober Pete Doherty, we hope) are headlining, a slew of over 50 more acts were also revealed including Kendrick Lamar, American Football, Panic! at the Disco, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, Bring Me The Horizon, Pierce the Veil, Frnkiero and the cellabration, and many more (though there are two special guests still unannounced).

Check out the complete line-up for Reading and Leeds 2015 slated to take place during the weekend of August 28-30. All information about the festival including tickets can be seen on their websites here and here.
