They may have been on hiatus for the last couple of years to pursue solo projects, but that has all come to an end. Fall Out Boy is back and with a bang! 

Announced Monday that they'll be unveiling a new album, "Save Rock and Roll", in the spring as well as kicking off a nationwide tour this Monday in Chicago, this pop-punk quartet are back with a vengeance. 

Their new single My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up) is currently available on itunes right now.

“When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music,” the band’s website statement said. “We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us. The future of Fall Out Boy starts now.”

Fall Out Boy first became popular in 2005 with their sophomore album "From Under the Cork Tree". They became known for hits like Sugar, We're Goin' Down and Dance, Dance. And while they've been on a little bit of a break fans are ecstatic with their comeback. The last album they released was back in 2008, "Folie a Deux".

*Just the other week I was at a concert at the Sound Academy waiting in between sets when a FOB song came on over the noise of the crowd. Two seconds later you could hear the entire place singing along to their song!*

Fall Out Boy will be performing at The Sound Academy May 24, 2013. Pre-sale for Toronto tickets will be available on ticketmaster on Feb. 7, at 10 am eastern time.

New Music: The Mark Inside

LtoR: Chris, Gus, Geoff, and Geordie

Now most of the time I find music randomly through friends, the radio, and most importantly the internet. But sometimes - such as this time - they find me! A local Toronto band that goes by the name of 'The Mark Inside' have a unique sound that you don't hear every day. They are putting out a new album on October 26th, 2010. With the choice of either a Digital copy or Vinyl (who knew it would make such a huge comeback?) e.p. fans will be able to get a taste of what's to come in a future full-length album.

Produced by Jim Abbiss (Artic Monkeys, Kasabian), and distributed by their label Metalbox, you can definitely get an idea as to what you can expect from this local Canadian talent! Check out their myspace at www.myspace.com/themarkinside to listen to some of their tracks!

I was lucky enough to listen to one of their tracks called 'House of Cards' and it's catchy and different and something that many of you I KNOW will like! Recorded in Lincolnshire England at Chapel Studios, they're very proud of their music and want the world to know what they sound like! If you like The Trews, Joel Plaskett, Arctic Monkeys or Crash Karma, you'll probably enjoy listening to The Mark Inside.
