  Fall Out Boy announced Monday that they are reuniting for a tour and their fifth album "Save Rock And Roll," schedule for released May 7.

Fall Out Boy has returned to the music scene after their 4-year "indefinite hiatus," they announced Monday.

The band, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley, is best known for their songs "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Dance, Dance."

"When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music," said the group in a statement announcing their comeback, according to MTV News.

"It's why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place," the group continued. "This isn't a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us. The future of Fall Out Boy starts now. Save Rock And Roll."

When the band dismantled in 2009, they made it clear that they were not breaking up, but just taking time apart and focusing on other projects, reported New York Daily News.

Today, FOB is working on their fifth album and preparing for a tour, and they are not wasting any time getting performances started. The tour kicked off in their hometown of Chicago on Monday, with FOB scheduled to visit New York on Tuesday and Los Angeles on Thursday before heading to Europe, according to MTV News.
