Fall Out Boy on not touring with “emo bands” and their new album
On the hype train to the release of ‘Mania’ , Fall Out Boy talked about why they had to push back their new album and how they stepped away from the pack of ’emo bands’ they
“None of the emo bands messed with us,” says Stump. “They hated us. They wouldn’t tour with us.” Adds Trohman, “I’m going to sound like a jerk, but we are still doing the band and making records – we are not on a 10-year-anniversary tour. We are still an active band. That is not an easy thing to do.” For that reason, the band let the 10-year anniversary of 2007’s Infinity on High pass by this year without any sort of special tour or box set. “A band like us could get stuck if we did that,” says Wentz. “It’s a loop, and we’d be doing it forever.”
‘Mania’ comes out January 19th. Here is the latest new video from ‘Mania’, ‘Hold Me Tight of Don’t’
