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.

While Pete Wentz was the FOB […]
