Fall Out Boy Speaks Out About School Band Ban (A Top Story)

. On Wednesday Fall Out Boy Speaks Out About School Band Ban was a top story. Here is the recap: (TeamRock Radio) Pete Wentz has offered to perform with pupils at a US high school after they were banned from playing a Fall Out Boy song. Pennsylvania's Garden Spot High School Marching Band will have to come up with a new cover version after the board upheld a decision to disallow the use of Thnks Fr Th Mmrs.

Officials said the song's lyrics could cause offence - even though the pupils only perform instrumental versions. They were also told to drop a version of pop star Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven.

Speaking during a show on their current US tour, Wentz told the crowd: "We heard about this school band who were going to perform this song, and the teachers or someone decided to not allow them. We stand on the side of creativity and making music, and we appreciate the hard work that goes into doing that.

"We would like to come to your school and perform a different song with your band - a song that is sanctioned if possible." Check out video and more details about what happened - here.
