The origins of the band New Foundation Glory date back to the summer of 1997 when Pundik met Steve Klein at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the pair began writing music together.
Pundik later stated the band name was created whilst he and Klein were working in Red Lobster together. Pundik says, "We came up with A New Foundation Glory, we wrote it on a napkin.
I think we pulled some of it from "A Newfound Interest in Massachusetts" by the Get Up Kids". The band practiced in Grushka"s garage, and later invited Joe "Taco Joe" Marino to play drums.
Shortly thereafter, Chad Gilbert (lead guitar), former vocalist of Shai Hulud, joined to complete the quintet.
