Fall Out Boy Is Back!

It’s time to ‘”Dance, Dance” because Fall Out Boy is back on the music scene!

After the drop of their greatest-hits album back in 2009, Fall Out Boy announced on Monday that they would release a new album and launch a North American tour in May.

“This isn’t a reunion, because we never broke up,” the group said in a statement. “We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.”

FOB has scheduled to release Save Rock and Roll on May 7; it will be the band’s first studio disc since Folie a Deux in 2008. The album’s lead single, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)”, was released to iTunes on Monday and available to stream on YouTube.

FOB will begin a six-week tour in Milwaukee, but will first return to the stage this week with three small-scale club gigs: Monday night in Fall Out Boy’s hometown of Chicago, Tuesday in New York and Thursday at L.A.’s Roxy.  The band is set to return to LA for a concert at the Wiltern on June 13th.
