Last week, California indie alt duo This Wild Life shared details regarding their North American summer tour. In continued support of their album Low Tides (available now), the tour will kick off on July 1st in Sacramento and wrap on August 5th in Las Vegas.
Singer/guitarist Kevin Jordan shares, “We’re flipping this record cycle on its head and putting together a unique This Wild Life performance that is unlike anything we’ve ever done before. This Summer I’ll be singing sad songs with a smile on my face, because through these experiences we’ve shared, I’ve come out from the other side stronger and happier than ever before. We want our fans to feel the same way, so this tour we will be getting you all involved in the performance itself. From playing instruments, singing along, all the way down to production, you will be a part of the show.”

New Found Glory
Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ
Saturday, March 28th, 2015
Review and photos by Zachary Foerst
It’s safe to say that pop punk is still alive and well! Four-piece, New Found Glory,
is out touring with the boys in Turnstile, This Wild Life and Turnover on The
Sleep When I Die tour which is ready to give you a night of fun your surely
won’t forget!
The crowd is greeted by a dark stage as they wait for New Found
Glory to perform when a small projector flicks on. The dark backdrop
illuminates with a video of Judy Garland singing the iconic “Battle Hymm
Of The Republic.” As the crowd
joins in and chants away, the video fades and is greeted by
“Understatment,” off New Found Glory’s iconic 2002 album, Sticks
and Stones.
The rest of the show was filled with the type of energy you only
can witness at a New Found Glory show. Even frontman Jordan Pundik was jumping
around with his foot in a knee-high brace – does it get more pop punk than that? With
only about a week left on this tour, make sure you make your way out and catch
some of the action!
