After sifting through several members in their early stages, lead singer Patrick Stump and drummer Andy Hurley soon became permanent fixtures. The band formed in 2001 in an Illinois suburb by local hardcore boy Pete Wentz and guitarist Joe Trohman.
Before I start to dive bang-first into that mess, let’s look at where they started.
I bit my tongue through the genre-jumping, the painful yet glorious tracks with “Titles Stylized Like Full Sentences Out Of A Myspace Manifesto.” And yes, I even stuck it out through their latest cringe-worthy flirtations with electronic dance music. In 2009 with their future murky, my friends and I became late adopters of the pop-punk spirit, combining the onset of puberty, hormones and the discovery of entry-level Hot Topic fare.Ĭonsidering their latest album, “ MANIA“, released this past month, I straightened my bangs and listened to every Fall Out Boy studio album going all the way back to their first appearance on the scene in 2003.
This period was a regrouping both personally and sonically for the members who struggled with mild drug abuse, communication and a distaste for their image as an “emo” band. During my time as a Fall Out Boy fan - we’ll call them the middle school years - the band was actually in the midst of their infamous five-year hiatus. Before this week, my relationship with the band Fall Out Boy was nothing more than vaguely nostalgic memories surrounding their “Infinity on High”/”From Under the Cork Tree” era glory days. To begin this exploration of pop-punk royalty, I will preface with an exercise in honesty.
