New Found Glory's all request hour

Why isn’t there more pop/punk these days? After thinking to myself for a long time I realized that it is one genre not many local or national bands are playing lately. This is unfortunate because the New Found Glory show at the Intersection reminded me of just how fun music can be when it’s not all politics and money.

Armed with high energy and NO set list, New Found Glory let the fans choose the songs it played. Being completely honest about not knowing some of the songs requested, the band members played on anyway, joking with the crowd that we were attending band rehearsal and that it was New Found Glory's all-request hour. Everyone had a great time and giving the fans control over what songs they played was a crowd pleaser.
