Fall Out Boy, “The Phoenix”: The Viewfinder Review
Fall Out Boy is not messing around. On the latest single/video off the highly anticipated Save Rock And Roll (Due April 16th), we see how the boys ended up in so much trouble in the video for “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)” and it is not pretty. Be warned, if you care about Patrick Stump at all, this video may not be for you. As for the song itself, “The Phoenix” still has some rousing electronics underneath but for the most part it sees […]
Fall Out Boy, “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)”: The Viewfinder Review
Um, so I really like this. If you didn’t know it already, Fall Out Boy are back! They have a new album due in May, a full blown tour ready to roll, and a whole new sound. I’ve been a casual fan since F.U.C.T. exploded all over the place but my attention span usually never went past the stage of getting their albums. I will say that I’ve always respected how FOB’s sound continued to evolve regardless of how their […]
New Release Report 3/6/12: BROOOOOOOOOCE!!
Yeah, there’s a handful of other releases out today, but BROOOOOOOOCE!!!
Discography Fever!: The Roots (Part Two)
In case you missed part one in our breakdown of the Legendary Roots Crew’s discography, never fear. Just click here . Now, let’s move on! The Tipping Point (2004) Drew: Having exhausted almost all avenues of restless experimentation with Phrenology, The Roots stepped back in a major way with The Tipping Point, a record far more interested in bobbing heads than in expanding their genre. Having officially reached the point where I experienced every new Roots release in real time with Phrenology, I recall The Tipping Point vividly, […]
Spin Cycle: Gym Class Heroes’ “The Papercut Chronicles II”
Titling their latest album as a sequel to their debut seems like a curious move for Gym Class Heroes. Back in 2005, The Papercut Chronicles was safe hip-hop for the Fueled By Ramen set – the Heroes wove strands of aggro punk and emo into their stylistic tapestry, and the results were more Fall Out Boy than Kanye West. (This, of course, long before Fall Out Boy ironically acquired Kanye’s penchant for hubris, outsized ambition, and Jay-Z cameos.) They’re a peculiar […]
Spin Cycle: Patrick Stump’s “Soul Punk”
Has it already been half a decade since Fall Out Boy was a thing? Despite initial reservations about digging something that was clearly not targeted to my age demo, I found myself liking these guys quite a bit during their glory period, and that had a lot to do with lead singer Patrick Stump. Although bassist Pete Wentz was the public face (and other body parts) of the band, and wrote much of the band’s material, something told me there […]
The Popblerd Chart Report 10/27/11: Casting Crowns Come Up Short
Adele racks up a 13th week at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, bouncing back into pole position with her album 21. It’s the longest run at the top for an album in 12 years-since the “Titanic” soundtrack held sway for 16 long, LONG weeks. Unlike the Celine Dion-led film memento, something in me doubts that we’ll be seeing Adele’s album in $2 discount bins within half a decade. Adele’s return to the top blocks contemporary Christian act Casting […]

Hello, late October. What do you have for me? Yet another tantalizing sea of new releases? Well, I don’t mind if I do. Shelby Lynne released her most recent album, Tears, Lies & Alibis only a year and a half ago. So what is she doing coming back so quickly? Hell if I know, but if her recent track record is any indication, the Grammy-winner’s new album, Revelation Road (her twelfth!) will be pretty damn awesome. Fall Out Boy’s Patrick […]
Patrick Leaves This Fan Stump-ed on His Boston Solo Outing
I don’t really have a problem with artists who were once part of a group or band attempting to establish their own identity. That said, I can’t think of an artist I’ve seen in concert (who was once part of a band) going out of their way to not perform said band’s songs. Robert Plant performed Led Zeppelin songs. Ben Folds played Ben Folds Five songs. Then again, neither of these guys was attempting to make the full-on genre switch […]
