| Fall Out Boy |

Fall Out Boy is an alternative rock/pop-punk/emo band from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois that formed in 2000. The band consists of Patrick Stump (lead vocals, guitar), Peter Wentz (bass, backup vocalist, and primary lyricist), Joe Trohman (lead guitar), and Andy Hurley (drums).
Early years
Fall Out Boy was formed in 2001 by guitarist Joe Trohman and bassist Pete Wentz, both of whom were involved in the current Chicago hardcore music scene. They recruited local Chicago drummers Andy Hurley and Patrick Stump, though Stump took up lead vocal duties, and later guitar. The new band's intended musical style differed slightly from the members' experience in that it was more influenced by punk styles like that of the Descendents and Green Day. The name "Fall Out Boy" was chosen from when the band asked the crowd in their second show what their name should be, and an audience member shouted out "Fallout Boy," the name of superhero Radioactive Man's sidekick on the animated TV show The Simpsons. The band was unaware of the Simpsons reference until later.
2002—2006
The band released Split EP with Project Rocket in 2002 on Uprising Records. The band then released their debut album Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, on Uprising Records in 2003. During this period Fall Out Boy built a following playing in Chicago, but especially the surrounding suburbia, which had become a popular area for punk, and hardcore music. One venue of particular significance and influence was the Knights of Columbus Hall. This was the site of many early Fall Out Boy shows. The Fall Out Boy video for "Dead on Arrival" was shot at the Knights of Columbus Hall, which also served as a site for several "secret shows".
Drummer Andy Hurley joined the band after Girlfriend was released. The same year they released their second full-length album, Take This to Your Grave, on Fueled By Ramen, with singles such as "Grand Theft Autumn (Where is Your Boy)" and "Saturday" receiving airplay on FUSE and mtvU. The album achieved Gold status, though only after the success of their next album. In 2003 the band signed with Island Records. They released the acoustic EP My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, on Fueled By Ramen, which included a DVD, in 2004.
In 2005, the band's stability was threatened when Wentz overdosed on the sedative Ativan® in a suicide attempt. He told Rolling Stone that he has a fascination with the suicides of Elliott Smith and Ian Curtis and was quoted saying "It's so hard to think about and understand. I'm not making an argument for being a disturbed genius; I was a confused kid. I felt like I was Pete Wentz for everybody else, and I didn't have Pete Wentz to turn to." The song "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)," from their album From Under The Cork Tree, is based upon Wentz's attempted suicide.
On May 3, 2005, Fall Out Boy released their major label debut (third full-length album) From Under The Cork Tree, which debuted on the Billboard charts at #9, selling over 70,000 copies in its first week, and soon thereafter achieving Double Platinum status. Their first single, "Sugar, We're Goin' Down," peaked at #8 on the Billboard "Hot 100" charts and reached #1 on MTV's TRL, where the video was retired. The video also won the MTV2 Award at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. The band was nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
The band was also featured on the soundtrack for the Tony Hawk's American Wasteland videogame which was released in october 2005. For this they recorded their version of the hardcore punk classic "Start Today" by Gorilla Biscuits.
Fall Out Boy has toured with multiple bands, including Taking Back Sunday, Less Than Jake, blink-182, Panic! At the Disco, Midtown, Hawthorne Heights, The All-American Rejects, The Academy Is..., The Hush Sound and From First to Last.
Infinity On High
Fall Out Boy has a new album coming out, titled Infinity on High, scheduled for release on February 6, 2007, with a lead single titled This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race by the end of 2006.
