Ten years after the release of their self-titled sophomore album, New Found Glory decided to throw an anniversary tour. Stopping at Chicago’s House Of Blues, they surprisingly played like it was released yesterday. They played an energetic set comprised of every song from the album, plus a five-song encore. Hardly any time was wasted once they hit the stage to bust out dangerously infectious pogo riffs. NFG was running around the entire stage with so much intense energy I was surprised when my three-song limit was up. I tried my best to grab shots of the entire band, but I couldn’t help but be drawn to the sheer photogenic energy of frontman Jordan Pundik.

Photographer’s notes: As I’ve mentioned before, HOB is one of my favorite venues. The lighting is pretty robust, and for the most part only requires minor changes in exposure, provided I hold a little patience. The band gave my autofocus quite a challenge by jumping around the entire stage, but a little cool and composure and perseverance yielding plenty of good shots.
