New Found Glory may have just released a new album, but that doesn’t mean that even more new music isn’t off the table, as this fresh offering shows.
Titled ‘Good To Go’, it embodies the same rambunctious, inspiration energy that sits at the core of ‘Listen Up!’, delivering the sort of sentiment that makes you want to get out there and enjoy everything fun and thrilling that this life has to offer. It’s a space in which the band have existed for their whole career, but there is something about the manner in which they are delivered it now that is hitting a whole new level of excitement.
The song serves as a collaboration with Garage Beer, too.
Have a listen for yourself.
To give you a bit more of a taste of ‘Listen Up!’ if you haven’t fully let it into your life yet, here is ‘A Love Song’, with its incredible music video.

Acclaimed Australian rock artist Dallas Frasca will perform two intimate Melbourne send-off shows this June before travelling to Vancouver to record her fifth studio album with renowned Canadian drummer Pat Steward (Bryan Adams) , producer Janey Aurora and engineer/musician Erik Nielsen (City and Colour + Tegan & Sara).
Frasca will perform at Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar on Friday 26 June and The Espy Basement on Saturday 27 June, offering fans a rare opportunity to experience her up close before she heads to British Columbia to begin work on the new record.
Recording sessions will take place at Smooth Operator Studios in Vancouver and Capsule Studios on Bowen Island , bringing together an international team of acclaimed musicians and collaborators as Frasca embarks on what is shaping up to be the most ambitious recording project of her career.
The project follows a remarkable run for Frasca, including two APRA Music Award nominations, a finalist placing for Most Outstanding Songwriter at the Australian Women in Music Awards , national arena dates supporting ZZ Top and George Thorogood , and the independent success of her album Force of Nature, which debuted at #2 on the ARIA Blues and Roots Chart .
“Canada has long been home to some of my favourite artists and records,” says Frasca. “To have the opportunity to immerse myself in that creative environment and collaborate with musicians of this calibre is incredibly exciting. I feel like this project is pushing me into new territory as a songwriter, performer and producer, and I can’t wait for people to hear what we’re creating.”
The recording project has received support from Creative BC , helping facilitate the international collaboration and recording sessions.
For more than two decades, Frasca has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most respected independent rock artists, touring extensively throughout Australia, Europe, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom while earning a loyal following for her powerhouse vocals, commanding live performances and fiercely independent approach.
