well obviously playing to bigger audiences is part of their dreams, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. and although i think that musically new found glory are pretty lame, they do seem to provide a platform for lesser known bands to get out there and be heard. i went to a nfg/less than jake show in LA 4 years ago and the support band was anti-flag, who are a heavily political young punk band, who have since become pretty well known. also at that show, they were distributing free punk and oi sampler cds to everyone who came through the door, featuring a number of small and unsigned acts. which i think is pretty good going for a major label modern punk band with chart success. they seem to keep a strong support for bands who hold the diy ethics of your 'punk community' helping them expand their audiences. i don't see what's so wrong with that.
