Fall out Boy new video single – ‘The Phoenix’
Andrei Mihai
A few days ago we were talking about the very interesting, but controversial album art released by Fall Out Boy, and now they come back. Fall Out Boy plays a pretty fun tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s classic movie “Pulp Fiction,” gathering around a mysterious metal briefcase and getting kidnapped by beautiful women – the life. ccording to the band, new video is a prequel to the previous single “My Songs Know What You Did In…
Fall Out Boy release new album art: a punk and a monk
I’ve known this picture for quite a long time; it was taken by photographer Roger Stonehouse and it features ‘a punk and a monk’ – two brothers, people of the same blood, but entirely different lives, attitudes and spirits. It represents the idea of new and old clashing, though they sprang from the same place. Seriously, I love this photo; and I like Fall Out Boy… but somebody’s got to say it: what the actual…
Quickie album review: Patrick Stump, “Soul Punk”
In which the former Fall Out Boy singer/guitarist/genius behind-ist channels his most obvious influence (Michael) and makes a soundtrack to a John Hughes film that’ll never be. A synth brush allows Stump to paint in broad strokes which, in turn, lets all of the (catchy as hell) melodies bouncing around in his head to come through. The absence of power chords allows his underrated vocal talents to soar on ohh’s and ahh’s to the top…
New Supergroup: The Damned Things
In case you haven’t heard yet, members of Anthrax, Every Time I Die and Fall Out Boy have come together to form The Damned Things. ETID’s Keith Buckley is joined by FOB’s Joe Trohan and Andy Hurley and Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano. With this line-up, you can somewhat accurately guess what the band sounds like: a mix of pop-punk and southern-fried metallic hardcore sprinkled with some nu-metal thrash. First single “We’ve Got A…
Elvis Costello teams up with Fall Out Boy on new single
Tibi Puiu
Talk about unlikely pairs, Elvis Costello and Fall Out Boy. He’s not the only one collabing with the emo stars, though, so the compromise isn’t that obvious. “What A Catch, Donnie,” is the Fall Out Boy’s third single, off their new album, “Folie à Deux,” that features cameos of various artists, playing Fall Out Boy songs. Other celebrities, featured as cameos in the song, include Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes (“Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down”),…
Jimmy Eat World lighten up
The band came together in the early ’90s and they were one of the first bands making that sound, which became known as “emo.”. So they have a tight thing with this genre or subgenre. The Arizona-bred group of sensitive rockers spent more than a decade crafting and recording their hard-core, dark side of life tunes –paving the way for bands such as Alexisonfire, and [tag]Fall Out Boy[/tag]. They are going to release Chase This…
Pete Wentz talks about Fall Out Boy’s next video
[tag]Fall Out Boy[/tag] gave an outstanding performance yesterday, early in the morning, for The Today Show. In between songs, the band lead guitarist Pete Wentz found the time to answer to a small Q&A interview. Some questions were very interesting, what stood out to me was the discussion regarding FOB’s next video “Me And You”, which surprisingly will be filmed in Uganda. Pete said they will be traveling to Uganda to film there so that…
