Emo-punk group Fall Out Boy hit it big in the mid-2000s with their mix of catchy hooks and crowd-pleasing energy for which fans who got Fall Out Boy tickets went crazy for. Despite what seemed like instant success with songs like "Sugar We're Going Down," and "Dance, Dance," the band actually formed long before hitting it big.
Fall Out Boy, made up of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley and guitarist Joe Trohman, got together in a Chicago suburb in 2001. Prior to making sweet music together, all band members tried their luck in other local groups, without much success.
After a lackluster self-released demo in 2001, the group made headway in 2002, debuting an LP along with Project Rocket. Their success grew with each new album, before the band decided to take a break to work on side projects in 2008. Stump tried his hand at going solo, while Wentz took up playing with a few other bands as well as working on reality TV. Fans will be pleased to know Fall Out Boy is back together - they released Save Rock & Roll in April 2013 and followed it up with a national tour. This means those who never got a chance to see the band in concert will now have an opportunity to rock out. |
