It's a Fall Out Boy Fifth!

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Fall Out Boy will release its fifth album, "Folie a Deux," Nov. 4 via Island, the same day as the U.S. presidential election. The project was heralded yesterday (Aug. 25) with the release of an online mixtape, "Welcome to the New Administration."

On it were five Fall Out Boy demos expected to appear on the album, including "Lake Effect Kid," "America's Sweethearts," "I Don't Care (27)," "ALPHAdog and OMEGAlomaniac" and "Catch Me if You Can/Proclamation of Emancipation," the latter featuring Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy.

"Folie a Deux" is the follow-up to 2007's "Infinity on High," which has sold 1.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Fall Out Boy will hit the road briefly in October in Europe, beginning Oct. 13 in Paris.

Gym Class Heros and Roots doing it together this fall

Katie Hasty, N.Y.

In one of the more eclectic bills of the fall, Gym Class Heroes and the Roots will co-headline a tour beginning Oct. 2 in Baltimore, with support from U.K. up-and-comer Estelle.

Gym Class Heroes and the Roots will alternate headlining duties on the trek, which runs through Nov. 1 in Albany, N.Y. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Aug. 12) for Gym Class Heroes' fan club members, and this weekend for the general public.

Gym Class Heroes has been out this summer with the Vans Warped Tour in advance of the Sept. 9 release of its Decaydence/Fueled By Ramen album "The Quilt."

As previously reported, the set boasts contributions from a number of big names, including the-Dream, Cool & Dre, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Busta Rhymes, Estelle and Daryl Hall.

First single "Cookie Jar" has sold 21,000 copies in four weeks of digital release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The hard-touring Roots are on tour internationally through the end of the Month but will then take a break until the fall run with Gym Class Heroes. Estelle will be making another U.S. push for her Homeschool/Atlantic debut, "Shine," which has sold more than 83,000 copies.
