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.

Believe me when I say this, posting something about Twilight is the last thing I wanted to do but when I was enlightened on this soundtrack it blew my pants straight off. Honestly, this soundtrack is stunning. I’ve been waiting for many moons (pun-intended) for a compilation to de-thrown the almighty Garden State soundtrack and that day has finally come. This album boasts huge bands ranging mostly in the alternative indie genre but still packs an insane punch. Heading the cavalery is the Death Cab for Cutie song (Meet Me On The Equinox) which is everything it was built up to be and is coupled by some other monumentally epic songs from Thom Yorke, The Killers, Muse, and the list only gets better. CHECK IT!
