He said: "Neither I nor my music seem comfortably
defined by the do it yourself punk or R’n’B and hip-hop scenes.
"I feel like I operate between the margins. I want
to contribute to the musical vernacular of both. I'm just as p****d off as I
was while screaming in punk bands, but I feel like I'm directing it into
something positive and centered around love."
Patrick’s debut will be called ‘Soul Punk’ and was not
only written entirely by the musician, but he also plays all of the instruments
on it.
The singer’s album is set for release in February and at
present fans can listen to two versions of his song ‘Spotlight’ and choose
which they think should be included on the album.
Meanwhile Patrick’s former bandmate, bass player Pete
Wentz is presently recording with his new band Black Cards.
