Release Date: March 03, 2023 Record Label: Unsigned Release Type: AlbumBandcamp Link: Listen on BandcampRome, Italy’s Thousand Oaks have released their new album On A Wing And A Prayer and it’s an absolute ripper. The band’s lineup includes former members of influential Italian skate punk band Jet Market, drummer/vocalist Alessandro Gavazzi and bassist Matteo Gobessi. This new record, the band’s third full-length release, is excellent and I’d say it goes toe-to-toe with anything Jet Market put out in their 14 year run. I highly recommend checking it out.

Tim Hause – “Pre-Existing Conditions”
"Pre-Existing Conditions" - Tim Hause
Release Date: February 14, 2025 Record Label: Blood Harmony Release Type: LPOne of Philadelphia’s favorite sons, Tim Hause, has announced plans for his second studio record. It’s called Pre-Existing Conditions, and much like on last year’s debut, TIM, it finds Hause teaming up with big brother Dave and producer Will Hoge. Unlike on TIM, however, the focus is less on the singer-songwriter thing that the Hause brothers can both do in spades, and more on the rocking, and he filled his studio band out with heavy hitters like Dan Andriano and Atom Willard for the occasion. Here’s how Tim explains the background of the record:
Of all the art I’ve made, this record feels the most like a reflection of me. It’s a celebration and a reckoning with the scars that make me who I am; an expedition through my own set of Pre-Existing Conditions.
My life has been riddled with loss. Through the help of music, therapy, medication; and most importantly an incredible family unit, I have been able to cobble together a wonderful life in spite of events that could easily have been backbreakers if not for the village around me.
We lost our mom when I was young, and I lost my best friend in traumatic fashion when I was 21. He vanished into thin air and was pulled out of the Schuylkill river after 38 days of a painstaking search through our hometown to find him.
The cover of the record is a reflection of my struggles and my outlook on them. I used to ask why me? Now I ask why not me? Why should I be spared of any aspect of life? The highest highs or the most crushing lows. The most beautiful joys or the worst imaginable pains. With any blush of new love comes future tears of a lost one. I want to live life with all the fullness there is. I want to live it with a defiant thumb in the air against a perfect blue sky while wearing a hospital bracelet. I earned that bracelet at the peak of a manic episode that landed me in treatment.
Pre-Existing Conditions is due out early next year on Dave and Tim’s own Blood Harmony Records, but you can pre-order your copy now and you can check out the lead single, “Make It Take It,” below or wherever you stream your streams.
Top Ten Fall Out Boy Songs – Deep Cut Edition

Happy Saturday! It’s been eight days since Fall Out Boy released their newest album, creating a “new beginning” for themselves. Since we don’t typically cover anything Fall Out Boy-related, my editors gave me a pass and let me take the wheel for today’s post. Which is sponsored by my coffee machine and a record player that’s currently playing Fall Out Boy.
Firstly, this might be an atypical Dying Scene post, but I want to thank Fall Out Boy for shaping my teens and making me question my taste in men later in life. Since Fall Out Boy has become too big for “small” online ‘zines, except Kerrang! I’ve decided to show my undying admiration for them by putting together a top ten all-time best Fall Out Boy songs that aren’t the ones we still hear on the radio from 2006.
So if you like Fall Out Boy as much as I do or want an introduction to them, I’m here to guide you through the magnificent and unique world that Fall Out Boy made with their clever lyrics and ever-so-changing sound. Let us begin! And we are starting with the number 10!
10. I Write Sins Not Tragedies (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
No doubt that this is such an underrated song from their first album. The sound and lyrics are just so unique and ahead of their time. They started Emo, but it’s only 18 years later that we all genuinely have come to understand the uniqueness this song has brought. Thank you, Fall Out Boy for starting Emo <3
9. Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, 2005)
Every time I hear this song, I get emotional when I listen to it. I’m pretty sure it was written for Pete Wentz’s wife, now ex-wife, at that time. But he never replied to my message, so I can’t confirm this.
8. ME! Ft Brendon Urie (Lover, 2019)
Wow, that moment they went full pop and thought they could get away with it. They did for a few weeks during the summer, but I started wondering what I liked about them after that. But one can’t deny that this is a banger!
7. House of Memories (Death of A Bachelor, 2016)
It was a hit BEFORE TikTok started using it, and it is still a banger today. I have nothing to add to this song.
6. One Of The Drunks (Pray for the Wicked, 2018)
I heard this song every time I went partying, this is my jam. Turns out I suck at partying and not everyone likes emo.
5. High Hopes (Pray for the Wicked, 2018)
I wish I was the last good thing of their part of town. I remember cracking this song, wishing the guy I had a crush on would phone me. But he never did. It still slaps and I still do the air guitar, so to the dude that broke my heart for the first time – thanks for giving me a cool skillset. You were the last good thing about that part of town. Asshole.
4. Northern Downpour (Pretty. Odd, 2008)
They did a remix with 100 gecs, Craig Owens, and Nicole Dollanganger. I am so here for it, the summer it came out it was my number 1 on my Spotify list!!
3. Far Too Young to Die (Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, 2013)
From their newest album, this song brings me in such a good mood with it’s catchy lyrics and Patrick’s voice. So it seems the vultures are getting too full to fly. Eat that, haters.
2. Local God (Viva Las Vengeance, 2022)
I know MANIA is a controversial album, but there’s no denying that Wilson stood out as one of the better tracks. Seriously, guys, we have forgiven you for this trashy album. But it’s a good track, ok?
1. The Best of Both Worlds (Hannah Montana, 2006)
The number Uno! “Calm Before the Storm” has got to be my most heard FOB song since I heard about them. Even to this day, I find the lyrics amazing. But as they sing in the song “What you do on your own time’s just fine.”
If you’ve read this far. April Fools – we regret nothing.
