Hi again!

Up next is another band I've loved for a long time- Fall Out Boy. I started listening to FOB maybe 2 1/2-3 years ago and I like every record apart from MANIA (it's okay, but it's definitely not my favorite). They've got a style similar to Panic! at the Disco- difficult to define with genres. Some would say Emo, others Alternative, but I tend to say they're Pop-Punk. Some of their older music (Take This to Your Grave and From Under the Cork Tree) are comparable to Panic!'s earliest record.

The band is made up of four guys: Patrick Stump on vocals/guitar, Pete Wentz on bass, Andy Hurley on drums, and Joe Trohman on guitar. They all have great chemistry- FOB has been together since 2001 except for a brief hiatus. They definitely led the way in developing the style of pop-punk music!

Fav. songs:
- Bang The Doldrums
- I slept with someone in FOB and all I got...
- Champagne for my Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends
- Fame < Infamy
- 27
- "The Take Over, The Breaks Over"
- I Don't Care

I haven't seen them live, but I really hope to if they tour again!!
