Fall Out Boy, the Chicago, Ill., quartet that was responsible for hits such as “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down,” “Dance, Dance,” “This Ain’t A Scence, It’s an Arms Race” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs” recently announced they are ending their nearly four year long hiatus.

The band, who mixed rock, emo, punk and pop all into one hybrid, released a statement: “when we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. its why we started fall out boy in the first place. this isn’t a reunion because we never broke up. we needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.

the future of fall out boy starts now.

save rock and roll…”

The announcement comes on the heels of a new single, album and tour. The single, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark,” comes off of their new album, “Save Rock and Roll,” which comes out on May 7. The song is now available on iTunes and the album is available for pre-order.
