It’s been four long years without Fall Out Boy from when they went on hiatus in late 2009. However it turns out now that nothing was going well within the band, with Pete Wentz getting superstar famous and Patrick Stump’s ego getting the better of him, but what’s past is past and now they’re back with a slightly different sound and “more” mature attitude!
Fall Out Boy announced their return with a BANG on Monday 4th February (making Monday for a majority of pop punk fans more bearable) – a new single, upcoming album and tour dates out for the not so distant future. In fact they played a show in Chicago the very day they announced they were back; needless to say it was a ‘fight to the death’ for the tickets. The same was the case when Fall Out Boy announced they would be playing one show at Camden Underworld in London on February 25th, the tickets were apparently sold out in 9 seconds flat as the venue only held 500 people. However Fall Out Boy showed their appreciation for the fans waiting out in the cold by (as rumour has it) buying them pizza!!
Their song ‘My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark”, which keeps up nicely with their tradition for long song titles, charted at no. five on the UK charts showing that although Fall Out Boy were away their fans never forgot about them! The song itself has a vibe with suggestion in the air that Fall Out Boy are most definitely back with the charm of their old days but with a heavier baseline.
One thing is for sure - I am definitely excited for what is to come and have a warm buzz about me knowing that Fall Out Boy are back for good!
