Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy (FOB) is an American rock band from Wilmette, near Chicago. Formed in 2001, the line-up consists of Patrick Stump (singer, guitarist and composer), Pete Wentz (bass, vocals and lyrics), Joe Trohman (guitar and vocals) and Andrew Hurley (drums and percussion). They enjoyed a certain success from the outset of their time on a record label with their second album, From Under the Cork Tree. Released in 2005, the album sold more than 2.5 million copies in the United States alone, where it was certified double platinum. Fall Out Boy were also nominated for Best New Artist at the 2006 Grammy Awards. The band has sold more than 34 million albums to date, making them one of the best-selling artists of this decade.

With no band name at first, the four members asked the audience directly for ideas at the end of their second concert. One audience member suggested Fall out Boy, supposedly a reference to the sidekick of Radioactive Man in The Simpsons. In the French version, Fall Out Boy is called "Atomic Boy".
