Since the band’s hiatus announcement in November of 2009, the guys of Fall Out Boy have now moved on to other projects.  Andy Hurley (drummer) and Joe Trohman (guitarist), for example, have started a metal band called The Damned Things with members of Anthrax (Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano) and Everytime I Die (Keith Buckley), whereas Pete Wentz (bassist/emo’s pretty boy) has rendered out into the business world writing comic books, opening a night club, and much more.  No worries, Wentz still has a place in music, for he just collaborated with Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) in contributing a song to the Alice In Wonderland soundtrack. 

But just last week, Fall Out Boy’s frontman Patrick Stump released a video on his newly revised website (www.patrickstump.com) that shows a little snippet of what’s to come from the Stump himself.  The video is a compilation of Stump playing different instruments, including keys, drums, and even a trumpet, that all layer into one song, ending with the caption ”I’m working on an album.  I’ll be writing, producing, performing everything myself.  Stay tuned.” The video can be seen by click here.

This is sure to be an exciting release, hopefully combining the catchy melodies we’ve heard and loved from Fall Out Boy with this seemingly new found progression in funk and maybe soulful concoction.  Or honestly this can just be a new side of Stump the world has never seen.  We’re sure to be surprised. Stay tuned.
