1. Fall Out Boy - Save Rock and Roll album review
"The first track on an album is always an important one, and never more so than in a situation like this. Fall Out Boy have been on hiatus for three years - which is especially long in the world of music, where careers can begin and end in that time - and this is their manifesto."
Our Gigwise writer Grace Carroll looks at the new Fall Out Boy album one track at a time, and decides if it's a worthy comeback. Click here to read the review in full.
