5 Bands I Want Back






If Fall Out Boy aren't on your list of bands you want back then we can't be friends. Formed in 2001 the pop -punk (or pop-rock depending on who you ask)  legends went on hiatus in 2009 and consequently broke the hearts of thousands. I don't know anyone that doesn't wish for them to reform at least once a day. 




When The Academy Is... announced they were splitting up last October I wasn't surprised, but it didn't stop me from crying about it anyway.  When they formed back in 2003 and signed to Fueled By Ramen I was a mere 9 years old and had only been venturing into the world of music that wasn't Steps or S Club 7 for about a year. These guys were one of my first favourite bands alongside the likes of Fall Out Boy, Blink 182 and Sum 41. 



Hey Monday's hiatus is yet another unsurprising one. I didn't break down in tears when I found out and i'm sure life will continue to go on without them but I can't help but miss them sometimes. They weren't technically amazing and they weren't about to start some music revolution anytime soon. What they had that I miss is fun. They were fun and that's what I want back. I want to see how they would have progressed had they stuck around. 




Oh Self Against City what ever happened to you? This pop-rock group have an album, EP and handful of demo's to their name. And. They. Are. So. Good. Then in 2008 they announced they were taking a break from touring but were still playing together and I don't think we've heard anything since. Even if they don't come back could we at least hear the "new material" they had supposedly recorded? 



I was late getting into The Years Gone By as they formed in 2002 and I didn't hear about them until late 2008/early 2009 but all it took was one song and I was in love. It took me all of 5 minutes to download their entire discography and after a couple of hours I knew them all by heart. Then in 2010 they announced they were going on hiatus. Gutted doesn't even describe it.
