Mark Hoppus to produce upcoming New Found Glory record

Posted by aubin on Monday, May 26, 2008 at 5:00 PM (EDT)

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 and Plus-44 fame has announced that he will be producing the next full length from New Found Glory.

You can find some more details about Mark's upcoming projects here.

New Found Glory parted ways with their major label last year. Since then, they've released the Tip of the Iceberg / Takin' It Ova! EPs on Bridge 9 Records.

Update: Just to clarify, there is no confirmed label for the full length right now.

that shit sucks... i know its supposed to be funny, but it doesnt even accomplish that

bigmondo (May 26, 2008)

i think it's pretty damn funny, but that is just me.

skapunk810 (May 26, 2008)

amen

fox82 (May 26, 2008)

I don't know... ISHC totally pisses all over anything New Found Glory have done in the past +10 years (and that's if you even like their early stuff). As far as hardcore records go, it's pretty funny, in that Good Clean Fun way; if you can take a joke and 'get' the whole tough guy nyhc/dms sound, they're pretty good. Well, a lot better than the next dms-wannabe band anyway.

Haha, indeed!

this should be appealing to your age group, Tommy Pickles.

jacknife737 (May 26, 2008)

Should be interesting, i really liked that MCS record that he produced.

Craig-TheRebelCounty (May 26, 2008)

I think Mark Hoppus is cool as hell and definitely a talented guy. He deserves better than this.

Indeed.
Listening to his podcast here for the first time, first track: "Silly Girl". I'm liking it.
Can see it going downhill from here though.

That said, I definatly need to dive deeper into this whole podcast thing. Anyone recommend any?

MrStylson (May 26, 2008)

Not trying to expand Dante's ego, but Sound Scene Revolution tends to interview a lot of great bands.

RightCliqificus (May 27, 2008)

"definatly"? Are you serious? Please tell me English is not your first language.

this-is-control (May 27, 2008)

No, it's Irish.
So calm the fuck down.

RocketFuel (May 27, 2008)

You should check out my podcast, Rocket Fuel. On my last episode I interviewed Chris from the awesome NY band, Polar Bear Club and review the new album by HiFi Handgrenades. Check it out!

settle down

If you want podcast reccomedations check out Ben Weasel's.

fallingupwards84 (May 26, 2008)

expect a lot of "electronic" stuff on it

fox82 (May 26, 2008)

So is this going to be on Bridge 9 (like the EP)?

Why are they not doing another ISHC full-length instead?

I guess its a good thing that they didn't report that story. Could you imagine the comments?

AndyPonch (May 26, 2008)

True, but that is the exception I guess, when reporting "What Wentz Did This Week".

martinNZ09 (May 26, 2008)

Shoot me - I think he will do a good job

Jesus_H_Christ (May 26, 2008)

This is too easy.

MrStylson (May 26, 2008)

With the exception of producing the +44 stuff (so basically, his own music) Hoppus has been sorta lackluster with production. That said, the guy knows his way around a catchy song, and the same can be said for NFG.

Also hoping they'll continue the sound of Tip of the Iceberg. Personally, I think the three originals are some of their best work, even if it was only 3 songs.

i agree. that shit is pretty damn sweet

thomas7155 (May 26, 2008)

Hopefully this means that they'll keep those old-school roots, but I doubt it.

how would having Mark Hoppus producing make it "old-school" in any way imaginable? you guys act like Hoppus has integrity...

Kids that wear skate clothes but don't actually skate and kids who own cure albums because of blink and don't actually listen to them are stoked....

Any good??

Kids that used to trash Blink 182, and call them Blinkstreet Boys, but now love and wish they were still together instead of Angels and Airwaves are stoked.

fallingupwards84 (May 27, 2008)

hahaha

DonkeyMan (May 27, 2008)

I wear "skate clothes" but can't skateboard and I'm 26 years old. Unless you're talking about some sort of skate clothes that I'm not aware of, what's wrong with wearing Etnies or a Hurley shirt but not skating? Does this mean no one can wear a basketball or football shirt without playing those sports? Or Tennis shoes? I just like the way certain (but not all) "skate clothes" look.

NobodysHero1313 (May 29, 2008)

too long.

You are disqualified from this competition.

Try again donkey man.

VictorIkpeba24 (May 27, 2008)

It's gonna be strange for Mark Hoppus to produce his clone band...

Jimmy-Jazz (May 27, 2008)

Didn't Mark Hoppus write and play loads of the bass on New Found Glory's Sticks & Stones album?

Anyway... I think that this is a decent move by New Found Glory... as someone already said he knows his way around a catchy tune and so this could produce a decent result.

Threewords (May 27, 2008)

that ISHC shit is terrible. its just a "ok we give our wack ass tribute to hardcore" for them. they probably didnt even know those covers as fans before the idea of that record. for god sakes no more "hardcore" and no more cover albums.
