Fall Out Boy, I know what you're thinking, "Who the hell are they?" Well they are a little punk band with a big following. While not to well known and certainly not played on the radio as much as they should be you've probably only heard about them from one of your friends who's obsesed with emo and punk. While you'll find out more information on their website than I'll be able to offer here, but they are about to release thier first full length album, Take This To Your Grave.
The band was formed almost one year ago and was formed on the love of the type of music that got all the members listening to punk in the first place. With clever lyrics and an album based on growing up and not knowing what the future holds Fall Out Boy has a winner in the mix. Thier recently released acoustic album featuring only 6 songs.
I had a chance to see these guys live at the Warp Tour this year. If it wasn't for the sound problems they experienced it probably would have been a good show. It still didn't ruin my experience seeing them though. Their current album, "Take This to Your Grave" is excellent with clever song titles and lyrics that follow suit. If you are into punk check them out. It's that simple.
