Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley talk with Rock Sound in a new video interview:
The one thing that I would do differently in the future is listen to the kids on that aspect- because they just drive that anyway. ‘Last Of The Real Ones’ is a single- it’s just not a single that’s on the radio. But it’s on the internet like a motherfucker. And so that part- I wouldn’t say that it was unsuccessful- it was just a learning experience for us. But I think it was a successful transition.

Fall Out Boy’s entire Reading and Leeds set is now up on YouTube.
“I love you, Chicago,” Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy sings on the closing notes of the second track “City in a Garden,” and, in a lot of ways, Lake Effect Kid, is very much a love letter to Chicago and all of the band’s memories surrounding their city. Nostalgia aside, Fall Out Boy have shown that they have not peaked, and the Lake Effect Kid EP showcases some of their best work to date.
Fall Out Boy have released their new Lake Effect EP on Spotify and Apple Music. The EP consists of three songs and a video has been created for “City in a Garden.” The title track was produced by Sean O’Keefe (the producer of Take This To Your Grave), his Instagram post details the recording process.

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy confirmed with ABC Radio that the band is “just about done” with a new EP and are aiming to release it in September:
As for what’s on the EP, Wentz says it’ll include a full version of the Fall Out Boy demo “Lake Effect Kid,” which was recorded around the band’s 2008 album Folie a Deux, as well as a “semi-new” song and a “really new” one.
Fall Out Boy did an interview with Sirius XM and performed an acoustic version of Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry.” The interview is 40 minutes but the cover starts at the :46 mark.
Fall Out Boy will be releasing a new vinyl box set on September 28th. The box set will include the albums on 180 gram black, and there will be additional reissues later this year on colored vinyl:

Fall Out Boy performed “The Last of the Real Ones” on Seth Meyers last night.
Fall Out Boy have released a video for “Bishops Knife Trick.” It’s a cool video, but I’m still mad about the lack of an apostrophe in the song title.
Dana Schwartz, writing for Entertainment Weekly:
“When you’re doing a score, it’s kind of like acting, really, because you have to get in the head of a character,” said Stump, “whereas with Fall Out Boy, if I’m writing a song, I’m going to have to get on stage every night and sing that. It’s really for me. Writing a song is more — not selfish, but you’re focused on what you would want, whereas in a film you’re just focused on telling the story.”
Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy has shared a to-do list that includes a “Lake Effect Kid EP” and releasing the new video for “Bishop’s Knife Trick.”
