UTG PHOTOS: Skate & Surf Day One (5/18/13)

Under The Gun sent photographer, Corbin Alvae, to New Jersey for Skate & Surf Festival at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Skate And Surf Festival: DAY ONE. Where to start?! First off, before I get into my Day One coverage, here’s a quick little story:

When I decided that I was interested in covering the festival, which was about 2 months prior to the actual date, I was beyond excited to travel to New Jersey, for one reason: WARM WEATHER. Michigan weather is on and off and for me — that usually never goes too well, and frankly, it grinds my …

REVIEW: Fall Out Boy – Save Rock and Roll

Artist: Fall Out Boy
Album: Save Rock and Roll
Genre: Pop/Rock
Label: Island/Decaydance

“We’re definitely writing all the time, so we’re not going to try to squeeze every last drop out of the stone. That’s part of what’s been wrong with the rock industry: they keep fans waiting far too long, and bands go away and disappear off the face of the planet. That’s not the way it’s going to be for Fall Out Boy.” - Pete Wentz (2007)


Fall Out Boy. I’ve written more words about Fall Out Boy in the past 10 years than any other band. …

Fall Out Boy Comment On Spring Tour; Promise To “Be A Band For A Long Time”

Fall Out Boy’s return to the top of the alternative music world has essentially dominated our newsfeed over the last two weeks. Many of you have been happy about this, but others have expressed a growing distaste in the frequency of these posts. We’ll be the first to admit that the initial days following their confirmation of a comeback were a bit overboard, and now hope to return to our regular posting routine moving forward. That said, here’s another FOB story for all you overcast kids.

WATCH: Clips From Fall Out Boy’s First Show Back

Last night Fall Out Boy ended their hiatus with a small club gig in their hometown of Chicago. Shortly after 9pm the band took the stage, and by all accounts we’ve seen and read, absolutely killed it. The three hundred-ish people that were lucky enough to grab tickets surely experienced a show they will never forget, and this morning the rest of us are left with whatever we can find on YouTube. Lucky for you, we’ve already done the work.

We have been watching our feeds since early this morning in hopes of tracking down the absolute best clips from …

IT’S TIME: Fall Out Boy Reunited

“This has been said so many times that I’m not sure if it matters…”

Oh, but it does. The time is finally here, friends. The princes of pop punk have returned in the wake of 4 years of rumor and speculation. Fall Out Boy are reunited, PropertyOfZack tells us. Believers never die.

After announcing a hiatus in 2009, the band members went their separate ways to form new projects and explore solo ventures. Controversy followed, rumor was spread on a bi-monthly basis, and ultimately shut down. Each time pushing the pin a little bit deeper into the …

LIVE VIDEO: Arma Angelus (Pete Wentz Hardcore band)’s Last Set; 2002

You remember when Pete Wentz used to scream on certain Fall Out Boy songs even if it didn’t really fit? Well that all sprang from the deep rooted hardcore tendencies he garnered when he fronted Arma Angelus. They were as hardcore as you could get.

Sending out posi vibes to kids fighting in the crowd during the band’s last set, Pete screams his sober heart out while Joe Trohman filled in on guitar and Patrick Stump took role of drummer. This was the last show Arma Angelus ever played. Chris Gutierrez (bassist) posted the video and is also the subject …

LIVE VIDEO: Fall Out Boy – Never Before Seen Footage from 2002

Remember when Fall Out Boy had to remind people that they had merch for sale after playing a set in an old indoor skate park? Not many do. One fan in Chicago does, however.

On Saturday, November 16, 2002, Fall Out Boy opened the Jim Grimes XXX Birthday Show. Named amongst the headliners were Rise Against, Every Time I Die, Bleeding Through, and the Misery Signals. Gracing the very bottom of the list was our favorite pop-punk group who would one day become bigger than almost all of the bands that played later that day.

At the show,

Fall Out Boy Are Writing a New Record (?)

Folks, rumors go around about FOB reunions on a weekly basis, they are not to be trusted. Girls on Tumblr, and trolls on Twitter know nothing. Remember that.

According to Beau Bokan of Blessthefall, however, this time it’s f’real. Here is the tweet sent by the singer this evening:

I’ve personally been putting the pieces together for a few months, so I’m thinking Mr. LIGHTS might just be correct.

It’s no secret that the solo …
