Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy, an American rock band, emerged from the vibrant hardcore punk scene of Chicago in 2001. Formed in Wilmette, Illinois, the group consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. Initially conceived as a pop-punk side project by Wentz and Trohman, the band quickly evolved, with Stump joining shortly after and Hurley later completing the lineup.

Their debut album, Take This to Your Grave, released in 2003, marked the beginning of their journey, achieving underground success and establishing a loyal fan base through relentless touring. The band's major-label breakthrough came in 2005 with From Under the Cork Tree, which featured hit singles like 'Sugar, We're Goin Down' and 'Dance, Dance.' This album catapulted them to stardom, earning a double platinum certification and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2006.

Following the success of their sophomore album, Infinity on High, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2007, Fall Out Boy faced a setback with their third album, Folie à Deux, in 2008, which received mixed reviews and was commercially disappointing. After releasing a greatest hits compilation in 2009, the band took a hiatus to explore individual projects.

In 2013, Fall Out Boy made a triumphant return with Save Rock and Roll, their second number-one album, featuring the hit 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up).' The subsequent albums, American Beauty/American Psycho and Mania, both reached number one on the Billboard 200, with the former producing hits like 'Centuries' and 'Uma Thurman.' The band continued to innovate with their remix album, Make America Psycho Again, showcasing their versatility.

Most recently, Fall Out Boy announced their eighth studio album, So Much (for) Stardust, set to release on March 24, 2023, further solidifying their place in the rock music landscape.
