"Shoooogaaa we're goowiiin daaaaan" et fucking cetera: mainstream-conquering masters of all things mediocre Fall Out Boy have a new single winging its way chartwards. What's more, they've re-issued their Under The Cork Tree album this week. BUY TWICE SCHMEEMOS!
'Sugar, We're Goin' Down' breached the UK top ten like some kind of torpedo through a hull of cream crackers, annoying the absolute Christ out of daytime radio listeners and MTV-whatever viewers alike. 'Dance, Dance', released on April 17th, will almost certainly do likewise, so rabid are the band's fans for more crapola to waste their pocket money on. Speaking of fans, Fall Out Boy's MySpace page shows that they've over 750,000 'friends'. Holy eMother!
Jay-Z's a fan, apparently. Wow.
The new version of Under The Cork Tree features extra tracks, as you'd expect, and brand-new artwork. B-sides included are 'Snitches and Talkers Gets Stitches and Walkers', 'The Music Or The Misery' and 'My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon'.
For the love of rock and roll, can someone please end the existence of these fucks, today?

"My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon"
Is The Worst Kind Of Title
I Do
Get what they mean though. Could you imagine if someone gave you a heart to use as a weapon against someone with an AK-47?
I dare say in a very Alan Partridge type fashion i would say:
"My god, my heart IS the worst kind of weapon!"
their fans look 'Scene' and ill
Chemo?! LOLz dEy iZ weL fiTz!
WOW
that title makes me feel like cutting myself, or cutting out my heart!
well
the more of it the better.
and by that i mean
the more Fall Out Boy bashing the better. danged return keys
only 750,000 friends?
that's still only about 1% of the emo-massive myspace collective.
...
Lol @ fallout boy
ROFLOL @ fall out boy
hahahaha
i love the associated bands. very clever Mr Diver
I like Fall Out Boy.
The best of the new Scenemo bands
plop
I saw them for free once. I felt mighty cheated.
scenemo. hahaha
hehehe
thats an ace bit of writing... hehehe. they are SO rubbish.
f.o.b.
and you are SO musicly impaired! i like fall out boy, thank-you very much, and i don't enjoy wacthing other people making fun of GOOD bands!
p.s. what kind of word is rubbish?!?! nobody says that word anymore, atleast not in the good old U.S.!
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, you're just a line in a song.
My boyfriend and I are hoping that Fall out boy are tongue-in-cheek, because if so then they're really funny.
lets pray they do a
test icicles and split. scene kids across the land will keel over and die in pools of their own miserable tears.ridding of us of them.hah.
Oh how I love Popbitch...
A quick note in Popbitch today about one member liking to get his wang out on webcam talks with teenage girls.
Who doesn't
I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM
Thanks Diver for a sane voice in a sea of peepee
I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM
and they hate you...
Haha
they have 880,000 friends on Myspazz.
Plus they get like 4/5 comments every minute.
Hahahahahahahahaha
I like Fall Out Boy. But they're incredibly easy to get sick of.
Get over yourselves.
I told myself I wouldn't comment on DiS anymore, but I can't help it. There are so many things wrong with this "story" and your comments.
Firstly, they're a pop punk band. Get over it. They sound almost EXACTLY like New Found Glory. They're not emo or scenemo or anything else. POP PUNK - remember that, it's what you fuckwits called (what you now call) "emo" bands back in the nineties.
Secondly, why is this in the "news" section? Bands release singles and tour everyweek, it's not news is it? Especially if they're not a "DiS approved" band. It warrants a review at the most.
Is it here so you lot can compare to see who hates them the most and elevate your egos by putting a band and their fans down? If you don't like them, ignore them. In my opinion, it's as "scene" to hate a band because everyone else does as it is to like them.
wow
Eh?
Ok, maybe that was a bit vitriolic, but do you get my point?
I 'get your point'
McROFL.
hmmm
he has a point about the whole pop punk thing,basically this new wave of 'emo' is just the same shit which was out a couple of years ago just repackaged, christ some of the pop punk bands around then are even been called emo, i mean i dont like emo bands but at least thursday and taking back sunday were trying to do something a little different grrrr pop punk you have risen from the grave to bite my bottom
emo
Emo to me means Sunny Day Real Estate, Dashboard Confessional and Saves The Day, and fall out boy definitely aren't that.
Also Mr Diver seems to think that getting a single into the top ten is somehow a negative thing, when anyone in an up and coming rock band (e.g. myself) would kill to be able to write songs that inspire the hundreds of thousands of loyal fans that fall out boy have got themselves.
Even if you don't like them you've got to admire the achievement.
Did you admire the achievement
of Chico by any chance?
im listening to them
now. thats right, at this very moment. that dance dance song is really catchy.
im ashamed.
