Mark Hoppus to produce next New Found Glory album

Brian Shultz on 5/25/08 @ 8:53 PM

New Found Glory finds themselves in the news yet again as Mark Hoppus of +44 (and, of course, the defunct Blink-182) has announced on his website he will be producing the band's next full-length.

The band will be recording it later this summer with him on the heels of their Bridge Nine-released Tip Of The Iceberg EP and alter-ego full-length from the International Superheroes Of Hardcore, Takin' It Ova!. The band also released volume two of From The Screen To Your Stereo last year via Drive-Thru. Their last proper full-length was the MCA-released Coming Home in 2006.

No word yet on where the full-length will be released.

In the past few years, Hoppus has lended his production skills to such bands as Motion City Soundtrack (Commit This To Memory), the Matches (portions of A Band In Hope) and Idiot Pilot (Wolves, co-produced with Ross Robinson).

This Providence demoing with Matt Squire

Brian Shultz on 5/25/08 @ 8:37 PM

This Providence is set to record their next full-length. Though they didn't explicitly state it, the band is currently in Maryland in pre-production mode with producer Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, Cute Is What We Aim For, Northstar), which seems to imply that when they relocate to L.A. he'll handle production duties for the album.

Casey Bates (Gatsbys American Dream, Fear Before The March Of Flames) manned the boards for the band's first two full-lengths, 2004's Our Worlds Divorce and 2006's self-titled.
