The four members of Chicago's Fall Out Boy came together in suburban Wilmette around 2000. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Peter Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley, and guitarist Joseph Trohman have all been in and out of a variety of units connected to Chicago's underground hardcore scene. They debuted in 2001 with a self released album, following it up in May 2002 with a split LP on Uprising that also featured Project Rocket. The band had an upheaval when Wentz overdosed on a sedative in a suicide attempt. He told Rolling Stone that he felt like he was Peter Wentz for everyone else and not for himself. The song 7 Minutes of Heaven is based on his suicide attempt.
On May 3, 2005, Fall Out Boy released their major label debut and third full-length album, From Under the Cork Tree, which debuted on the Billboard 200 at #9, selling over 70,000 copies in its first week, and soon thereafter achieving Double Platinum status. Their first song, "Sugar We're Goin' Down," peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on MTV's TRL, where the video was retired. The video also won the MTV2 Award at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. The band was nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
Fall Out Boy's next album was announced to be titled "Infinity on High", and is scheduled for release on February 6, 2007. The lead song /single, titled "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race", debuted at the 2006 American Music Awards. The video debuted on MTV Tuesday, December 19, 2006.
