But the road to career longevity has been bumpy. In late 2013, longtime guitarist Steve Klein was accused of multiple sexual offenses involving minors, resulting in Klein's expulsion. Although the band was very statesmen-like on the matter, it was clear his departure had a profound effect on the group.

As the foursome readies for the October 7 release of Resurrection, their eighth studio album, singer Jordan Pundik finds himself talking to Radio.com in the midst of changing dirty diapers. He quickly issued a disclaimer: "If it gets noisy here, I apologize. I have a three-year-old and an eleven-month old."

Radio.com: New Found Glory never really went away, so why the name Resurrection? Jordan Pundik: We've had our ups and downs and especially with this last year. And for me it's just kind of like, this record was very cathartic for us. Why we need a resurrection is because no matter how low you get in what you're dealing with, you're determined to come out on top stronger than what you were before and you don't realize how fragile things are until it's almost gone. When people hear the record and they listen to the lyrics and they hear what the songs are about and what we want to say, what we want people to latch onto when they listen to this record. Then they'll realize OK, I get it.

Chad had mentioned that this album was easier to record than others. Why? When you have something that you hold so close and it could end at any moment, you're like, "Wow." We're the tightest we've ever been and it just kind of just came to us. Not to take away from other records, but we just got in a routine. So when everything went down, it sort of re-sparked us.

Was there a time when the band hit rock bottom? For a brief second, yes. It was just the whole not knowing of what the outcome was going to be and how we were going to continue. I've been in the band since I was sixteen or seventeen years old. It's all I've done and when something like that happens it kind of throws you a curve ball. It's super crazy, like nothing what we could have expected.

With nine albums, three EPs, not including a greatest hits compilation, can you believe you've accomplished all this? No, it doesn't seem real 'cause every day I'm changing diapers and looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like, I'm the same kid I was like when I had to be home at midnight or else I'd get in trouble. I feel like I'm still momma's boy. I'm going through normal life crap and dealing with that stuff and I look back and I go, "Oh yeah." I go to the mall or something on a Saturday, which is the worst thing to do� to walk into a Hot Topic on a Saturday. People walking up to you freaking out. Which is cool. I'm totally down with that stuff but when I'm home it's just kinda like I tend to forget. We've been a band for a long time. We've done a lot.

What would you say to the young Jordan in 1997 when you were recording your first album? I think that I would say to not taking anything for granted. It's so clich� to say but it's true. Being in the band for as long as we have and going through ups and downs and even personal stuff, with money or divorces or whatever, just don't take anything for granted� Stay cool man! (laughs).

As you get older, your audience stays the same age because of the pop-punk genre. Is your aim to keep your audience young? Honestly, that's what I love most about my band is that we're still relevant with the bands that are coming up and getting popular. We take those bands on tour and I think that, coupled with that fact that we're just a band that writes songs about the human experience and I feel like people grab onto that. I feel that our fans are getting younger, which is crazy. We've been a band for seventeen years almost and our fans are getting younger. It's really cool to be able to continue to tour and it's all young kids in the crowd still. So, I feel like we still have a good amount of years left in us.
