Listen to Fall Out Boy's long-awaited 'Lake Effect Kid' EP

Fall Out Boy have done a lot of teasing leading up to this fall’s M A N I A Tour, including touting a new EP based on the band’s 2008 demo, “Lake Effect Kid.” Well, wait no more, FOB fans: Lake Effect Kid just dropped at midnight. Hear it below.

While we previously heard word of a revived “Lake Effect Kid” making an retooled appearance thanks to Pete Wentz, the group revealed late Tuesday that the new release was finally due to make its public debut today at midnight.

“This is our love letter to Chicago,” Fall Out Boy tweeted upon the new effort’s arrival. The band’s big homecoming gig happens amid the M A N I A Tour on Sept. 8 at Wrigley Field in Chicago with Rise Against and Machine Gun Kelly.

The demo version of “Lake Effect Kid” appeared on Welcome To The New Administration, a pre-release mixtape from the Folie À Deux days. Now, we finally have a full studio take along with two new songs, plus a video for “City In A Garden.”

And it’s only been seven months since Fall Out Boy belatedly issued M A N I A, their progressive, purple-hued seventh album. Hear the new FOB, directly below, and see the cities and dates on the band’s M A N I A Tour after the new tunes.
