FOB guitarist says he's unsure when the band will put together a new album...
Just after attending bandmate Pete Wentz's wedding to Ashlee Simpson a few weekends ago, Fall Out Boy guitarist Patrick Stump says a new album is on the horizon for the band, but he's unsure of its arrival date.
"It's one of those things music-wise where the band is really not talking about a record yet, but we're all itching to do one," Stump says. "Actually at the wedding we were like, 'We should do another record.' But I never want to mislead people."
He adds, "So it's weird, because there's been rumors of us doing our next record for a long time, but it kind of comes from a misunderstanding about how we work because we're always writing. We've had material since Infinity on High dropped. So there is plenty just floating around, but it's basically like whenever you're ready to go in and do it again, that's when it happens."
Stump goes on to say, "I don't want to be overly vague, but whenever we do another record, it'll be different from the last one, and it's going to be different from the last three," he says. "I think the new stuff will have a lot of freedom on it, and it's going to be our first just plain old record in a while."
Stump says he wouldn't be surprised if the band ends up playing a few gigs this year. "We always end up playing somewhere," Stump says. "I don't think we want to get rusty, and we're not going away for any length of time. It's weird because it seems like every band is going on indefinite hiatus, and I want to be one of the first bands to say there is nothing hiatus or indefinite about what's going on [with Fall Out Boy] right now."
