Epitaph Records has announced the signing of pop-punk titans New Found Glory. The band is currently wrapping up their new full-length with producer Mark Hoppus. The album is the follow-up to the Tip of the Iceberg EP and is due out in early 2009. Guitarist Chad Gilbert commented on the signing:
Picking a new label was a scary thing for New Found Glory. The music industry has been changing so much and more and more bands are being treated and presented like some Wal-Mart pop act with guitars. We have real diehard fans and we wanted to find a home that would represent NFG the right way. A label that knew our music scene. Epitaph is the place to be! They were all longtime, true fans of new found glory and they understand us. We aren't just some record to put out before the new Pussycat Dolls CD! A real music label. We were over the big business of the majors.
