A new EP by the band "New Found Glory" called "Listen Up!" shows the group struggling with pain through hope, with some of their strongest songs in recent years. Since the album "Forever x Ever Infinity" in 2020, the band's guitarist Chad Gilbert was diagnosed with cancer. The illness accompanied him in recent years as well, and between rounds of difficult chemotherapy Gilbert went into the studio with his friends, with music becoming an escape from waiting rooms and conversations with doctors.
"Listen Up!" was written out of a real need. The band was looking for light and sunshine to survive a complex period, and that energy seeps through the entire album. It is an album that comes from a very personal place, but at the same time manages to give listeners a sense of strength and optimism.
