Fall Out Boy Bio
Pete Wentz - bassist and lyricistPatrick Stump - lead vocals, guitar
Joe Trohman - guitarist
Andy Hurley - drummer
They are not an emo band, though their lyrics are strong on emotions. They are not a punk/pop band, though they admit to punk/pop roots. They are Fall Out Boy, a hard-driving rock band whose music reflects a wide spectrum of influences united in a style that's unique, bold and original.
Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, Patrick Stump and Andy Hurly, all veterans of Chicago's hardcore scene, began playing together in suburban Wilmette in 2001. Wentz had previously been the frontman for the disbanded hardcore band Arma Angelus. He and childhood friend Trohman began writing lyrics together. They were soon joined by vocalist Stump whose gritty yet melodic style was a perfect fit. After a couple hits and misses at drummer, they were eventually joined by former Racetraitor percussionist Hurly who they knew and had played with previously.
"Whenever I'm not doing interviews, I'm probably writing music and he's (Wentz) writing words, and at any given moment we're putting something together." ~ Patrick Stump
In 2001, the group released a three-song demo that was enthusiastically received by Chicago area fans. In May of 2002, Fall Out Boy (FOB) teamed up with Project Rocket and released a split CD on the Uprising label. Their debut album, Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, released on Uprising in 2003, contributed to their exploding popularity around Chicago and beyond. Producers from across the country were contesting for a piece of the action. Fueled by Ramen Records got the call.
