The American Beauty / American Psycho album release party in Chicago was probably the most coveted concert ticket by every Fall Out Boy fan in North America. Showcased by the mad rush to gain tickets back in early December, there were only 400 lucky fans (out of a reported 6000 plus) who managed to seal their fate and gain access to ( Read more... )

CLEVELAND, Ohio - This year marks the 10th anniversary of Fall Out Boy's breakthrough album "From Under the Cork Tree.

Many bands would spend the rest of their careers riding the multi-platinum success of album that big by doing the same thing over and over again. But most bands aren't Fall Out Boy.

Wearing black masks and with no support band in sight, Fall out Boy made their way on stage a little after 8:30 in the tiny venue that is the O2 Academy, Islington.

2013 has made it very clear that Fall Out Boy are not afraid to play with their sound and take big leaps in genre. With Tuesday’s release of their EP PAX AM Days fans got a chance to hear Fall Out Boy try something else.

Fall Out Boy has been in the media quite often within the past year after a four-year hiatus and surprise return with Save Rock and Roll. Their fans expressed mixed feelings about the comeback album; some people regarded it as not being punk enough and others loved the change in pace. Their newest EP Pax-Am Days is almost the complete opposite of ( Read more... )
