 Heavyweights of the pop-punk scene NEW FOUND GLORY have been busy in the studio recording their upcoming seventh full-length, 'Radiosurgery'. The album, which is due to be released later this year, has been described by guitarist CHAD GILBERT as "the most upbeat fun record we've ever recorded. Catchy but not in a fake pop sounding way. [We] wanted to go back to more of the roots of punk and pop-punk and put a whole new NFG spin on it. So imagine Green Day's 'Dookie', Ramones, maybe even a little Rancid 'Let's Go' all thrown into a pot of NFG. The record goes from song to song never letting up the energy. We are really excited about it because we feel we are really gonna offer a style and sound that is currently lacking in music! In your face, fun, raw, songs!" Read the band’s description of the meaning behind 'Radiosurgery' below, as well as watch their latest video which documents the band's recent tours in Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia for Soundwave Festival.  "There are certain things in life that are extremely hard to get over. No matter how hard or long you go trying to forget, it's always there somewhere in your mind. Some things can be so heavy they torment and enter every thought making you feel semi-insane. If our thoughts were like tumors we could have them removed. Using RADIOSURGERY. 'Radiosurgery' - is a medical procedure that allows non-invasive treatment of benign and malignant tumors. It is also known as stereotactic radiotherapy, (SRT) when used to target lesions in the brain, and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) when used to target lesions in the body. In addition to cancer, it has also been shown to be beneficial for the treatment of some non-cancerous conditions, including functional disorders such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and trigeminal neuralgia. Some have already used our record title as an analogy referring to the state of popular music or songs they hear on the radio. Saying it needs some fixing... or "surgery". Music is healing. You can find a song from your favorite band that relates to a tough situation in your life and listening to it helps you. You could say that's some sort of Radiosurgery. You can apply or relate the title to whatever you want. Truth is, it will all make sense once you hear the album."  |
