Artists: Fall Out Boy

So Fall Out Boy are the next Funeral For A Jimmy Eat Sunday, apparently - the kids, they've spoken, so who are we to deny them the following bounty?

Great news for neat haircuts and studded belts part I
Fall Out Boy's new video, for the breakthrough single (oh come on, it's on radio 1 ferchissakes) 'Sugar, We're Goin' Down', can be seen here. So yeah, nice one.

Great news for neat haircuts and studded belts part II There's a GAME! Yes, like Super Mario Bros. only shit and featuring Fall Out Boy! (Actually, we don't know this to be true - we've not clicked the link.) Get your fingers blistered through furious button bashing, here!

In news of no little relevance, Fall Out Boy have added a second London show to their sold-out tour. The new date is January 31st. 'Sugar, We're Goin' Down' is released through some soulless major or other on February 7th. Get in, kids.


Fall Out Boy

Must be getting big. Even the Finance Manager at work likes them.

(I dont mind them either, but they aint as good as spitalfield...)


"Corporate Little Bitches"

to quote The Man. Is this the video that they pulled out of Leeds festival to pick a sod-ridden MTV award for???

Dont tell me a band like that gives two fucks about their fans.


I thought Sophamore Slump or Comeback of the Year, was the new single.

Patricide gave me this album. She is great!


.

GAaaaaah Mike you idiot you can't compare Jimmy Eat World to Funeral for a Friend.

J.E.W arent emo at all now.

Fallout boy are shite.


Jimmy Eat

Shit


Fall Out Boy

are ok. the album is radio friendly, and nice to listen to in the background. thats it really.


No.

*slap*


Jimmy Eat

Cock.


The single

is pretty damn good actually


i got bored by the end of it

is he actually saying anything during that weird little chorus part?


No.

*slap*


children, children...

it's POP music! our bitter attitudes towards it have all been taken into account in preproduction and the last two board meetings! They will release a song that we will all detest but end up singing when pissed before the end of the year. don'tcha just love corporate pop?


Studded Belts & Mind

If you have walls that you wann keep in tip top condition, don't let annoying emo boppers into your houses as they just mark your walls with their novelty belts

who needs spikes on a belt? HONESTLY


erm...

...Deathwarriors?


I am SO sick of hearing...

...that stupid song.

'flah-flah-noobynoobydoonah'

JUST DIE ALREADY.

Jimmy Eat World make good music, goddamnit!

As do Funeral For A Friend!

Taking Back Sunday make... meh, they're alright I guess.


Oh dear.

I can't believe people actually use emo as a term to describe bands these days, espcially DiS. You're about 25 years too late. Makes the website look like they can't talk about anything but 'indie' bands.


'Oh Dear', keep up.

Well... It cant, to be honest. It basically trashtalks anything it doesn't like. This is an intresting trate among websites like this. While I may not agree, at least their being honest about it.

Anyway, Emo is still a very commonly used term, and to be honest I still refer to mostly every band thats on Victory Records as emo, mainly because they are.

You mate, aren't keeping up with today. Don't blame DiS.

May I just add, Fall Out Boy 1) are terrible. 2) aren't even remotely emo.


Tickle Me Emo

This is THE most emo song of all-time,they must've taken some sort of course of what you put in an emo song as it ticks all the cock-boxes.
I am scared to watch the video as I fear it may finally be the one to beat that Papa Roach one to the title of Shittest Video Ever...can't remember what the Papa Roach song was called, something about wishing somebody would tell him he's fine (except less motown) and had a video full of pissed off looking emo kids that've had their allowance cut off that week and no-one understands them...
Fuck me, emo is the biggest lot of cunt ever.


Papa Roach ain't no emo daddies

But that video was totally playing up to the disenchanted yooof aspect of the whole emo scene, as its perceived through the mass-media presentation of MTV et al.

Face it: emo isn't what it was, once - now it's a certain look and a specific sound, with no room for manouverability within such tight constraints. Thus, you get shit like Fall Out Boy; well, you say 'shit' but all they've done is take the Get Up Kids/Weezer template and up the pop and talk of girls ditching their uggo chops.

It's a step of from Son Of Dork. One step.

It's all much of a muchness. Those with memories will fal lback upon their Glassjaw album - the first one - and make like emo's vital.


I liked...

...both Glassjaw albums. A lot.

And emogame.com owns. I'm going to hide in a corned with my Jimmy Eat World records until Aiden become popular and I can LOL heartily at them until the fad burns out.


Fall Out Boy

Is amazing.
You all are a bunch of little bitches.
I love when people say "its a trend to like them". It's the other way around moron.

One. Fall Out Boy is NOT emo.
Two. You can't compare them to Taking Back Sunday, its a whole different class.
Three. I just love when people trying to dis FOB say "they dont care about their fans..blah" they honestly &truly do. it's just hard to prove it to everyone when you have 498394893 kids looking up to you.

Go bash something else because you OBVS. don't have any lives or respect for good music.
It's made for the kids not old hairy men.

You just got proved wrong by a 15 year old with higher IQ scores than yourself.

Now talk shit. :]
