New music has been confirmed in the ‘new year’ from a recent interview with some boss at iHeartRadio, whom FOB are playing a show for in January too.

I can’t believe it’s almost been 4 years since ‘MANIA’ now, a criminally underrated album tbh. Young and Menace was a mistake as the lead single, but I relisten to a lot of the other songs regularly, namely Wilson, Hold Me Tight Or Don’t, and The Last of the Real Ones.

Seems like they’re gearing up for a single release now. They released a stop-motion short video thing earlier on, and the closing few seconds feature (presumably) a new song… sounds like they’re going back to pop-punk!

They've resigned to Fuled By Ramen and new album 'So Much (for) Stardust' is out on March 24th! And here's the new single which sounds *fantastic* on first listen, I'm hoping they'll be able to get another Top 40 with the hype surrounding their return to pop-punk, but that might be a bit too optimistic.

Darn, 'Love From The Other Side' sounds great (the backing music, at least). Better than probably almost anything in the dodgy M A N I A album.

I quite like a lot of MANIA tbh. Yeah it’s not pop-punk, but I replay ‘Wilson’, ‘Hold Me Tight Or Don’t’ and ‘The Last Of The Real Ones’ fairly often.

Here it is! I think this is my favourite out of the two, it kinda feels like a mix of their pre and post-hiatus sounds.

It looks like ‘Hold Me Like a Grudge’ is the next single as it’s getting a video alongside the album release (next week!)

Gave the album a listen, but nothing really stood out aside from the two singles which are both pretty decent.

This is quite an unexpected release! Fall Out Boy have announced that their releasing an updated version of Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’, which will cover “newsworthy items from 1989-2023”. It’s out at 3pm UK time tomorrow.

Some very good INDIVIDUAL bars in there, ending one of the verses with Suez just like in the original song, 'Shinzo Abe blown away' (LOL), is great. Metroid to rhyme with George Floyd, less so.

Paying absolutely no regard to chronological order with all the events f***s it all up though. Original was very deliberately mostly 50s events and the pace sped up at the end because the message is not to list history but to say to a 1989 audience that plenty of world events still happened a generation ago even if people focusing on current events forget that; the final verse spans from late 60s to 1989, the 4th is the only one in the 60s, and the first 3 are all 50s. Which is what every. single. remake. of this song misses.

Plus bouncing straight from an event in the 90s to an event in the 2010s and back again really feels off even if the aim WAS to list every notable event. Less 'the world is turning' and more 'the world is quantum leaping'.

Stardust? The music sounds better with FOB.
