Sticks and Stones is the third studio album by American rock band New Found Glory.
As with its predecessor, their eponymously titled second album, it was again produced by Neal Avron. The opening two snare hits that begin "The Story So Far" were done by bassist Ian Grushka. Similarly, the four bass notes that follow were done by drummer Cyrus Bolooki.
Sticks and Stones was released on June 11, 2002, through MCA Records. Because of the relationship Drive-Thru Records held with MCA, Drive-Thru's more successful acts, including New Found Glory, were "upstreamed" to the major label. Between late June and mid-August, the group went on the 2002 edition of Warped Tour. In October and November, the band went tour across the U.S. alongside Something Corporate, Finch and Further Seems Forever.
The album included the popular singles "My Friends Over You" and "Head on Collision", both of which performed well on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. This coupled with a headline appearance at the 2002 Warped Tour saw the album certified gold by the RIAA in September.
All songs written and composed by New Found Glory.
