New Found Glory. The name, for the twenty-somethings, will bring back happy, hazy memories of drunken teenage nights, unashamedly singing the band’s popular songs ‘My Friend’s Over You’ or ‘Head On Collision’ at the top of their voices. For the more musically knowledged and experienced thirty-somethings, the band represent a change in pop-punk. They are a band who made, and still continue to make, a deep groove in the pop-punk genre; a band who, while citing their influences and making them all too clear at times, made a sound their own and opened doors for future bands. An example of a band who have cited New Found Glory as an influence, and who have ‘made it’ is the hardcore band ‘A Day To Remember’. Let’s not forget the teenagers of today, either.

Wednesday (January 6) night's People's Choice Awards saw big victories from the "Twilight" crew, Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp and "Glee." It was also a big night for Paramore, who beat out Daughtry, Green Day, Kings of Leon and Muse to take home the title of Favorite Rock Band. As she is wont to do, singer Hayley Williams kept fans abreast of her developments and reactions via her Twitter account.
Williams, who was at the show with boyfriend and New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, opened the night wishing that she got the opportunity to meet one of her favorite stars. "Dear God, please let today be the day that I meet Michael C. Hall," she wrote about the star of "Dexter" (a show she often tweets about). "And let him be wearing a lab coat and goggles. Amen."
