DIY Weekly, 31st March 2014 - Feat. Fall Out Boy, Manchester Orchestra & More

After claiming to ‘Save Rock and Roll’ while actually remodelling pop, now it’s time for Fall Out Boy’s next step. On the cover of the new DIY Weekly, the band’s Pete Wentz documents everything from a rocky chapter, a brief hiatus to the group’s recent, spectacular revival.

“The plan is to keep moving,” they boldly declare in this week’s Cover Feature.

Also in the new Weekly, Manchester Orchestra discuss “working our asses off” to make their new record ‘Cope’. Their fourth album doesn’t just live up to a legacy - it goes much, much further.

In News, Gruff Rhys explains why he’s gone all multimedia on us with his new album ‘American Interior’. He’s not showing off, honest.

Mac DeMarco gives us the bare bones of his oddball new album ‘Salad Days’, plus Timber Timbre dig into cinematic wizardry and look back on time spent in LA’s legendary Laurel Canyon.

We also speak to Southern ahead of their FRUKT Fixers London gig for DIY, Bastille waste no time in discussing their second album, and Neu shines the spotlight on exciting NYC talent Ang Low.

There’s reviews of the new Band of Skulls and Cloud Nothings records, and the latter’s Dylan Baldi provides a hilarious track-by-track guide to the group’s excellent new album.
