New Found Glory “Taking Time Offâ€
posted in: Music News • Rock
Ever since last night’s Billboard interview with Jordan Pundik, the internet has been going haywire with rumors of New Found Glory‘s impending hiatus. The only problem? It isn’t true.
Speaking to Billboard, Pudnik said:
I think we need to go away for a little bit, explains Pundik, who’s in the process of opening a tattoo shop in Nashville. We’ve been touring for a long time. I don’t think anybody’s in the headspace for writing a new record. We won’t go away completely; we’re still gonna be doing things here and there, probably some one-offs and things like that. But to be honest I don’t think we’ll have anything new out until 2014. But, Pundik adds, he’s not worried about the band members straying apart during any kind of hiatus.
To be honest, it’s easy to see this from both sides, however as guitarist Chad Gilbert points out, Pundik never used the word hiatus, and Gilbert says the entire thing has been a misunderstanding. At most he says, they’ll be taking six months off.
Check out what Gilbert had to say after the jump, and weigh in below in the comments. Do you think there’s more to the story?
“Why did someone say we are going on hiatus? That’s the dumbest rumor I’ve ever heard! We love what we do. You couldn’t pay us to quit!
Hiatus is not for NFG. We like playing shows and being a band more than anything. I think what Jordan said was misconstrued!
Work your butt off and one butthole adds his own statement to the end of an interview & the world believes it. Jordan never said those words
Anyway! Goodnight world. Glad you know the real deal now! A Hiatus can kiss my A$$!”
