Coral Springs, FL emo-punk band A New Found Glory formed in the summer of 1997, comprising vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki. Renowned for their energetic live shows, the group toured up and down the East Coast, quickly selling out the entire pressing of their debut EP It's All About the Girls. The full-length Nothing Gold Can Stay followed in 1999; A New Found Glory signed to major-label MCA soon after, re-releasing the album that autumn. The EP From the Screen to Your Stereo followed in the spring of 2000, heralding the release of the full-length New Found Glory later that year. A high-profile tour with Blink 182 and an appearance on the ~Warped Tour helped them gain more exposure, and they stepped back into the studio at the end of 2001 to work on the followup. The results were released in the summer of 2002 as Sticks and Stones.
