Kill It Live is the first live album by American rock band New Found Glory.[2] It was recorded during two sold-out shows at the Chain Reaction music venue in Anaheim, California between March 27—28, 2013.[3] 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.[4][5]

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.[6] Gilbert was taken to the hospital, but released the following day having been given the all clear.[7]

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.[8] The album was made available to pre-order on August 27,[9] and was preceded by single "Connect the Dots."[10]
