<Ul> <Li> Ben Rose </Li> <Li> Mike Pareskuwicz </Li> <Li> T.J. Kunasch </Li> <Li> Brandon Hamm </Li> </Ul> <P> Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001 . The band consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, lead guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley . The band originated from Chicago's hardcore punk scene, with which all members were involved at one point . The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of the members' respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter . The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording the group's debut album, Take This to Your Grave (2003). The album became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, as well as some moderate commercial success . Take This to Your Grave has commonly been cited as an influential blueprint for pop punk music in the 2000s . </P> <P> With Wentz as the band's lyricist and Stump as the primary composer, the band's 2005 major - label breakthrough, From Under the Cork Tree, produced two hit singles, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Dance, Dance," and went double platinum, transforming the group into superstars and making Wentz a celebrity and tabloid fixture . Fall Out Boy received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2006 Grammy Awards . The band's 2007 follow - up, Infinity on High, landed at number one on the Billboard 200 with 260,000 first week sales . It produced two worldwide hit singles, "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs ." Folie à Deux, the band's fourth album, created a mixed response from fans and commercially undersold expectations . Following the release of Believers Never Die--Greatest Hits, the band took a hiatus from 2009 to 2012 to "decompress," exploring various side projects . The band regrouped and recorded Save Rock and Roll (2013), which gave the band its second career number one and produced the top 20 single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)." The group's sixth studio album, American Beauty / American Psycho (2015), released worldwide on Island Records, was preceded by the top 10 hit "Centuries" and also spawned the single "Uma Thurman" which peaked at 22 on Hot 100 . The album peaked at No. 1, making it the band's third No. 1 album and the group's fifth consecutive top 10 album . </P> <P> Fall Out Boy was formed in 2001 in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Illinois by friends Pete Wentz and Joe Trohman . Wentz was a "visible fixture" of the relatively small Chicago hardcore punk scene of the late 1990s, performing in various groups such as Birthright, Extinction and First Born, as well the metalcore band Arma Angelus and the more political Racetraitor, "a band that managed to land the covers of Maximumrocknroll and Heartattack fanzines before releasing a single note of music ." Wentz was growing dissatisfied with the changing mores of the community, which he viewed as a transition from political activism to an emphasis on moshing and breakdowns . With enthusiasm in Arma Angelus waning, he created a pop punk side project with Trohman as an "easy and escapist" project . Trohman met Patrick Stump, then a drummer for grindcore band Xgrinding processX and a host of other bands that "never really managed," at a Borders bookstore in Wilmette . While discussing Neurosis with a friend, Stump interrupted the conversation to correct their classification of the band in a conversation that soon shifted to the new band . Stump, viewing it as an opportunity to try out with "local hardcore celebrity" Wentz, directed Trohman to his MP3.com page, which contained sung - through acoustic recordings . Stump intended to try out as a drummer, but Trohman urged him to bring out his acoustic guitar; he impressed the duo with songs from Saves the Day's Through Being Cool . While Wentz wanted Racetraitor bandmate Andy Hurley in the group as drummer, Hurley appeared uninterested and too busy . </P>
