The band, collectively. Of the 170 tracks across the fourteen albums, 132 are credited simply to New Found Glory with no individual named. The one album that does name people is Nothing Gold Can Stay, the 1999 debut, where the lyrics go to Steve Klein and Jordan Pundik and the music to the band. Because of that convention the per-track authorship figures on this page read low, which is about how the credits are written rather than who wrote the music.

The Authorship Story
Data Insight
New Found Glory almost never name a writer. Of the 170 tracks across the fourteen albums, 132 are credited to New Found Glory as a group rather than to any member, and the only album that names individuals is the 1999 debut, where Steve Klein and Jordan Pundik take the lyrics and the band takes the music. The rest of the exceptions are the covers album, where the original writers are credited, and Forever + Ever x Infinity, which carries no writing credit anywhere. The authorship figures on this page therefore read low, and that is a labelling convention rather than a statement about who wrote the songs.

Frequently Asked Questions New Found Glory
Who writes New Found Glory's songs?
The band, collectively. Of the 170 tracks across the fourteen albums, 132 are credited simply to New Found Glory with no individual named. The one album that does name people is Nothing Gold Can Stay, the 1999 debut, where the lyrics go to Steve Klein and Jordan Pundik and the music to the band. Because of that convention the per-track authorship figures on this page read low, which is about how the credits are written rather than who wrote the music.
New Found Glory, credited as a band. It reached number five on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and number 85 on the Hot 100, their only Hot 100 entry.
Who is Steve Klein?
The band's rhythm guitarist from 1997 to 2013 and the only member named as a lyricist anywhere in the catalogue, on the 1999 debut. He left the band in 2013.
Which album sold the most?
Sticks and Stones, with 863,000 in the United States, where it is certified platinum.
Why do the chart peaks here come from Billboard's alternative chart?
Only "My Friends Over You" ever entered the Billboard Hot 100. The band charted on Alternative Airplay instead, and most albums after 2004 produced no charting single at all.
What is From the Screen to Your Stereo?
A series of covers records of songs from films. Part II, released in 2007, is counted as a studio album in the discography, and its writing credits belong to the writers of the originals.
Why does Forever + Ever x Infinity have no writing credits?
No published source carries them. The album article leaves the writer fields empty and the Discogs pressing adds nothing, so the columns are left blank here.
Has the line-up changed?
Jordan Pundik, Chad Gilbert, Ian Grushka and Cyrus Bolooki have been in the band since 1997. Steve Klein was the fifth member until 2013 and has not been replaced.
Who produces their records?
Neal Avron on the self-titled album, Radiosurgery and Listen Up!, Steve Klein and the band with various producers in between, and Aaron Sprinkle, Will Pugh and Mark Trombino on the later records.
