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, debuted 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 . </P>
