Hello People,
This time, I wanna say something about one band that really impressed me with their video.
Hope you like it, because they are also popular. By the way, 0ne of their songs that I really liked is the song entitled "Sugar were going down."
Actually, I first heard their song in the internet cafe. And It was so good, but it still can't beat my favorite song "Helena" by my favorite band, My chemical romance.
The members of Fall Out Boy are Patrick Stump (vocals & guitar), Peter Wentz (bass), Andrew Hurley (drums) and Joseph Trohman (guitar).
It was mostly luck and maybe destiny that brought these four musicians together. Each had played for different hardcore underground bands in the Chicago area during the late 1990s. Almost concurrently the groups that Wentz, Trohman and Hurley were playing for disbanded. Wertz (previously front man for Arma Angelus) and Trohman knew each other from playing together in a previous band and in 2000 decided to do a little jamming and have some fun, they needed a drummer and invited Hurley to join in (Hurley had played for the well known band Racetraitor). [They actually hooked up in Wilmette, which is a suburb of Chicago.] Soon afterwards, they invited Patrick Stump to add vocals to the group after meeting at a Borders book store. The group had a unique pop-punk sound which had some elements of emo mixed in. They just played for the fun of it. [Note: They did not have a name until their second gig. When the audience asked for their names, they could not reply and one of the audience members shouted out “Fall Out Boy.” The name has stuck ever since.]
Their local fan base began to grow and in late 2001 they began to seriously think about making it into a career. They recorded a demo tape of three songs and sent it out to a number of record companies as well as sold it to their fans. In May 2002, they co-released a split album with another band named Project Rocket on Uprising, an independent label (this included the same songs as the demo). They also released a second solo EP with the Uprising label in February 2003, entitled, Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend which was well received and began to bring Fall Out Boy some exposure. The earlier demo and the recent attention of the band caught the eyes and ears of a few labels, and they eventually signed with Fueled by Ramen (owned by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Balzano), which shared similar visions as the band. They soon went into the studio and in May of 2003, this Chicago band released its debut album, Take This To Your Grave. The album was well received by fans and critics alike and sold over 200,000 copies. Then the band went out on tour (Warped Tour) to showcase the songs and their own musical prowess. While on tour, they released a mostly acoustic EP entitled My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side To My Tongue. The EP made it to the Top 200 Billboard chart.
After the fan response from their tour, they saw that they could reach an even larger audience, so they changed record labels and signed with Island Records who could provide them with greater exposure, while still catering to their core fan base. Almost two years to the day after their first album was released, they came out with their sophomore album, From Under the Cork Tree was released in May 2005. The album showcased some new sounds the band had experimented with and improved upon over the past two years. It instantly became a huge hit with fans, and has been a huge commercial success for the band (debuting at #9). [Note: the album gets its title from the children’s book “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf – one of Wertz’s favorites when he was a youngster.]
They were awarded the MTV2 Award in August 2005.
