Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy was on the The Gunz Show. (Overcast link.)
He talks a little about the bands trying to find some way to do the Hella Mega tour, saying, “This tour may not happen exactly how it was supposed to happen at the time, or when it was supposed to happen or how it was supposed to happen… but the tour will happen.”
Fall Out Boy have released all the episodes of a cartoon many of the members were involved in on YouTube. Mondo Trasho 3042 is the “brainchild of Joe, scored by both Patrick + Joe, and produced by Pete.”
Pete Wentz talked with NME about life in quarantine:
I have a space in my head that’s always been more of an album. I have a concept for it, I have a lot of time on my hands and I kinda want to do it. Are we going to be in our houses for another six months? If we are, there’s going to be an album. I also have one other song I want to do with Cheap Cuts. Sonically, it’s an expansion on ‘Check Your Phone’ but thematically it’s about that first five minutes in the morning when you wake up and you’re in that post-dream state.
Cheap Cuts have released the new song “Check Your Phone” featuring Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.

Patrick Stump talked with Chris Conley of Saves the Day about Through Being Cool and its impact:
Yeah, I think if we had met the right person at that time—like if we had met Luke Wood at that time, we would have signed with him. Let’s say we didn’t meet people that felt familiar, like they’re from our world of music, and they get it there. They support artists, and it’s not just about making a profit or whatever. But eventually, we did find them in Vagrant Records. They were the same kind of people that we knew from Equal Vision. They were just on the West Coast, and they had a slightly bigger operation at the time. And that felt comfortable. The Get Up Kids had signed to Vagrant.
It’s interesting to think back if we had signed to a major label based on Through Being Cool. I think they would have wanted us to keep making that same record to make it a brand. And I think for me as a songwriter, I just would have flinched at that. And I wouldn’t have made it through that. I just would have given it all up.
Patrick Stump has shared “Deep Blue Love” from the upcoming soundtrack to Spell.
“Brendan gave me a real chance as a composer,” says Stump of working with director Brendan Walter on the soundtrack to “Spell.” “I was allowed to explore elements of my writing that I could never have without the narrative of the film. This score was fantastic to work on because I got to play with the film’s theme of emotional ambiguity: How much of this is actually happening? How much of this is in Benny’s Head? Is he working towards achieving a goal or is he being consumed by some kind of ominous horror? Asking and in some cases answering those questions with music was a real thrill.”
Pete Wentz has launched a new clothing and jewelry brand called Ronin.
Born out of the idea of wandering, a samurai without a master, and the free dreams that accompany facing the world on your own, Ronin is a jewelry line built for modern times. Founded in 2019 by Pete Wentz, the line focuses on simple, quality unisex pieces that externally project one’s inward creativity and individuality.
