Rare Fall Out Boy Demo Tape Being Auctioned Off

A copy of Fall Out Boy’s first demo tape is being raffled off tomorrow by Christopher Gutierrez (HeyChris) to benefit The Catcade, a Chicago nonprofit cat rescue/arcade combo.

This is the first and original Fall Out Boy demo tape. Maybe like 50 ever made. One of the few pieces of early-2000s pop punk history I have collected that I said I would never sell, is now being raffled off to raise money for my non-profit charity @thecatcade – for every $10 donated between now and Saturday at TheCatcade.org , your name will be entered into a drawing and the winner will be chosen live and fairly this Saturday. Good luck.

Donations can be made here.

Pete Wentz Goes Behind the Scenes of Their Latest Video

Fall Out Boy

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy talked with ET about their new video for “Young and Menace.”

“The concept of the video is realizing that your place in the world is maybe not just what you thought it is, or thought it was growing up,” he says. “I grew up as a weird kid in a place where I felt like I didn’t fit in. It wasn’t until finding punk rock and stuff, that I felt like I found other people who similarly felt like they didn’t fit in.”

Fall Out Boy About Half Done With New Album

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy talked with NME about their new album and how it’s about halfway complete so far:

Well, the album is not finished. We’re about halfway done. But songs like ‘Young And Menace’ are the furthest left, like you know – the wildest part of the album. The song will make sense on the album and the album is like – we’ve updated the software since the last album, so I think the album will sound different to people.
