Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman has revealed that the band were recently working on “guitar-based” new material that is now on the “back burner”.Trohman was speaking to Rolling Stone about his upcoming memoir, None Of This Rocks, which explores the guitarist’s youth and evolution into a musician.

It’s described as being “unlike any [memoir] you’ve ever read.”In the new interview, Trohman is asked about a segment of the book where he says Fall Out Boy are working on new rock-orientated new material more akin to their earlier work.In response, he revealed that this particular set of music appears to have now been set aside, saying: “We were working on some stuff that was guitar-based.

I don’t know know what’s happening with it. I think it unfortunately went to the back burner. It would be nice to make a record where the guitar is a little more upfront.“We did start that way, as a guitar-based rock band, and it’d be cool to go back to those roots.

We’d have to find a way to do it that doesn’t sound like Fall Out Boy from 2005. It might be cool for somebody else to do that, but it wouldn’t be cool for us to do it.”Elsewhere, Trohman shared his distaste for the band’s 2018 album ‘MANIA’, saying: “‘MANIA’ has some cool ideas and interesting stuff in there.
