New Found Glory finds joy in chaos with "Laugh It Off"

American punk rock veterans New Found Glory have consistently crafted anthems out of their real-life experiences. On their most recent single, “Laugh It Off," the band continues to highlight a blend of upbeat energy, emotional sincerity, and humor.

Written by all four band members, Jordan Pundik, Chad Gilbert, Ian Grushka, and Cyrus Bolooki and produced by Steve Evetts, the song does not waste any time in grabbing the listener’s attention. Still, it is centered around a bouncing guitar riff that serves as the engine for the track. This brand-new song is as gritty as ever. It’s upbeat and charged, yet refreshingly human at its core.

The song reminds us that, as things seem to escalate, there is usually a tipping point where the silliness of the fight becomes clear. You trip over a word, mispronounce something, turn a phrase inside out all at once, instead of tension, you’re both giggling. That moment of release is what “Laugh It Off” celebrates.

“Laugh It Off” is a slice of life smothered in fast guitars and pounding drums. The song’s pleasure comes from its understanding that you don’t fall in love with the perfect thing. As the rest of the world can sometimes be a bit self-serious, New Found Glory provides much-needed comedic relief and balance. “Laugh It Off,” the band offers a philosophy that arguments grow faint, riffs stick around, and laughter is the prize every time.
