With track number three from the ‘Save Rock and Roll‘ studio album, Fall Out Boy most definitely caught me more than a little off-guard. Expecting the band to continue in a similar vein to ‘My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)‘ and ‘The Phoenix‘, Fall Out Boy instead unleashed a bit of a folkier offering with third single, ‘Young Volcanoes‘, despite the drastic change of style however, Fall Out Boy most certainly still manage to hit the spot here, and ‘Young Volcanoes‘ is perhaps even the strongest track that they’ve unveiled from the album thus far.
‘Young Volcanoes‘ is definitely a lighter track than the first two released from the album, a poppy folk infused number which comes complete with an incredibly infectious, singalong chorus. This is a real feel-good anthem for the summer, complete with a ‘woah-oh’ chorus and the incredible Patrick Stump vocal tone that we’ve all come to expect from Fall Out Boy over the years. Stump has always had such a soothing voice, and it’s certainly no different with this track; the style may be different, the vocals are still as silky as ever though, and Patrick Stump’s vocals are what stand out most strongly about the music.
Since returning from hiatus and hitting us with the news of studio album number six, Fall Out Boy has very clearly demonstrated that it’s not a band that has remained static since ‘Folie à Deux‘ was released in 2008. With each and every studio album Fall Out Boy has looked to progress its sound and come back with something different, a course that the band appears to be continuing to follow with ‘Save Rock and Roll‘. When Fall Out Boy went on hiatus in 2009, we had to be aware that if and when they returned, they’d inevitably do so with a view to moving on and providing something a little different, much like Blink-182 did when they released their ‘Neighborhoods‘ studio album in 2011. ‘Young Volcanoes‘ demonstrates that we can expect quite a variety of sounds to be on display when Fall Out Boy releases ‘Save Rock and Roll‘ on April 12th, and I for one am now even more excited than ever to hear what Fall Out Boy has to offer with this latest studio album.

It’s hard to believe it, but it’s now 19 years to the day since Nirvana frontman/guitarist Kurt Cobain committed suicide in Seattle, Washington, aged 27.
19 years on then and Kurt Cobain’s music continues to inspire many all around the world; Nirvana’s music still lives on well beyond Kurt’s 27-year lifespan, and the iconic 90s grunge band’s music still sounds just as fresh now as it ever did.
Regardless of what decade you were born in, Nirvana is no doubt a band that will have impacted upon your life in some way. Nirvana’s music has spoken to many throughout the years, something that is attested to in the fact that the band has sold in excess of 75 million albums worldwide over the years, with worldwide sales in excess of 30 million for the band’s classic ‘Nevermind‘ album alone. Kurt’s influence on modern music is huge; it has now been 19 years since his death, but his influence unquestionably remains, countless people are still inspired by Nirvana’s music, and Kurt Cobain continues to impact positively upon the lives of many.

Whilst a video never materialised on Tuesday for ‘Young Volcanoes‘, the track has now been unveiled on the band’s SoundCloud account, and you can listen to this new Fall Out Boy offering below.
‘Young Volcanoes‘ becomes the third track to be revealed from the ‘Save Rock and Roll‘ studio album, following on from ‘My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark‘ and the aforementioned ‘The Phoenix‘.
