Extremely Old Fall Out Boy Song Surfaces

What are these….distortion noises? This is Fall Out boy? I don’t know.. that weird noise in that song doesn’t sound like FOB, I mean where are the synths or an 808? I did some wikipedia research and it seems like that crunch sound is something called a guitar? I don’t trust it… fake news.

 

well that didn't take long

 

My dad used to tell me stories about a band by this name that played this guitar but I never believed it to be true. ( I don’t mind their new sound however. )

Im glad someone saw something in this band to have them keep going because this song is Ummm not great even by high school band standards (and I’m a FOB fan)

Edit: just listened to an old cd I had back from high school and this FOB isn’t that bad on second thought

 

Obligatory post:

if people want to hear bands that sound like *insert criteria* then go find a new band to listen to. there’s certainly no shortage of angsty 19 yr olds writing music.

 

This kinda rules. Sounds like all the punk bands that I used to see at local YMCA and firehouse shows back then. :)

 

Wish they'd release some of the demos/b-sides from the Cork Tree era that still haven't surfaced, especially this song:

 

this is sick. Reminds me of the early Say Anything stuff with slightly "better" vocal performance

 

I agree with this assessment. Thought it sounded pretty good, actually. You can see the progression from it.

 

The back half of this is essentially “Short, Fast, and Loud” from their first CD, but still cool!

 

Well this was..something.

 

This was cool in a nostalgic sense. I don’t vibe with new FOB at all but also anything pre-TTTYG is really bad.
