If you’ve ever wanted to hear what Fall Out Boy sounded like early on, head over to YouTube.
Three songs from their 2001 self-released Fall Out Boy demo have been posted to the streaming site, ripped right from the original cassette tape.
Both “Growing Up” and “Switchblades And Infidelity” later appeared on their EP Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out With Your Girlfriend.
The third track, “A Nice Myth” only appeared on the tape and was replaced by “Moving Pictures” when re-released on CD and vinyl.
