Fall Out Boy angered by album leak

Fall Out Boy have hit out at the people responsible for the leaking of their new album.

Infinity On High is due out in two weeks, but has been made available on the Internet this week by what the band describe as "music vultures".

"This isn't the end of the world, (but) it certainly feels pretty terrible," admitted bassist Pete Wentz. "We understand those who have to sneak a peek at the presents under the tree the night before, but please remember that as the music industry changes more and more, we only put out a record so we can keep touring and travelling."

He added that future similar incidents could lead to a premature end for bands like Fall Out Boy: "We want to keep this going for as long as possible. It is unfortunate that a couple of vultures in a plant somewhere can ruin this vision so easily."
