Fall Out Boy Announce New Album M A N I A, Share Video for New Song 'Young and Menace'
By Sam Sodomsky.
Fall Out Boy have announced a new album. It’s called M A N I A, and it’s out September 15 via Island/DCD2. The band have also shared a video for a new song from the album, “Young and Menace.” In a statement about the track, bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz says, “It’s hard to rationalize rage – it’s hard to quantify anxiety... this song does neither, it embraces the wave…”. The clip was directed by SCANTRON and Mel Soria. Wentz says of its inspiration, “The concept is the idea of a movie like Elf, where he realizes maybe he isn’t an elf after all, but ours has less comedic elements and more real world implication.”
Fall Out Boy will embark on a North American tour this fall: check out their itinerary below. Proceeds of ticket sales will be donated to the Fall Out Boy Fund, which gives to charities in Chicago. The group’s last album was 2015’s American Beauty/American Psycho.
