Kill It Live is the first live album by American rock band New Found Glory. It was recorded during two sold-out shows at the Chain Reaction music venue in Anaheim, California between March 27—28, 2013. It was first released on October 7, 2013 in the United Kingdom, before its wider release in other regions soon after. It was issued through imprint label Violently Happy Records, a partnership between independent label Bridge Nine Records and the band's guitarist Chad Gilbert.
The first night of recording was infamous after Gilbert collapsed on stage after being shocked by a microphone. It is believed the guitarist received a jolt due to poor wiring on the microphone. Gilbert was taken to the hospital, but released the following day having been given the all clear.
The album features seventeen live cuts from the two dates, as well as three new studio tracks that were recorded by Paul Miner and mixed by Kyle Black. The album was made available to pre-order on August 27, and was preceded by single "Connect the Dots."
In October 2011, the band released their seventh studio album Radiosurgery via Epitaph Records. To promote the album, the band headlined the Rockstar-sponsored Pop Punks Not Dead Tour in the United States ahead of Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years, Man Overboard, and This Time Next Year. Promotion of the album continued as the band toured South America in January 2012, before headlining the 2012 Kerrang! Tour alongside Sum 41. Later in November, Billboard magazine reported that the band would be going on "hiatus" following an interview with Jordan Pundik. This was however strongly dismissed by the band, posting on their website that Pundik had been misconstrued during the interview. Chad Gilbert later clarified that the band didn't intend to release a new studio album until at least 2014, before confirming they would be recording a live album the following year.
