Fall Out Boy’s albums Take This to Your Grave and From Under the Cork Tree are both said to have pop punk as well as punk rock sounds and influences, and Infinity on High features a wide range of styles and instrumentation, including orchestral and choral arrangements (“Thnks fr th Mmrs” and “You’re Crashing, But You’re No Wave”) and a slower piano ballad (“Golden”). R&B influences on Infinity on High are on songs such as “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race” and two of the album’s tracks are produced by R&B singer/producer Babyface. On Folie à Deux, Fall Out Boy continues to evolve their sound, with less of a pop punk sound and increasing the use of piano (“What a Catch, Donnie”, “Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet”, and “20 Dollar Nose Bleed”), synthesizers, and guest artists. The band also shows a number of influences, with the opening track borrowing a chord sequence from The Who song “Baba O’Riley”. The group has worked with many producers and artists, including The Neptunes, Timbaland, Lil Wayne andKanye West, the latter of which Patrick Stump described as “the Prince of his generation.”
A central part of Fall Out Boy’s sound is rooted in the band’s lyrics, mainly penned by bassist Pete Wentz, who commonly uses irony and other literary devices to narrate personal experience and stories. “I write about what I’m going through most of the time, or what I imagine people are going through most of the time.” He draws inspiration from authors such as Charles Bukowski, Ernest Hemingway, and JT LeRoy, as well as rappers such as Lil Wayne, who he described as his primary influence while writing Infinity on High. On Fall Out Boy’s earlier works, Wentz wrote primarily about love and heartbreak. Themes addressed on From Under the Cork Tree include narcissism and megalomania, while many tracks on Infinity on High discuss the ups and downs of fame. While writing Folie à Deux, he explored moral dilemmas and societal shortcomings, as well as concepts such as trust, infidelity, responsibility, and commitment. While the album does contain political overtones, the band wanted to avoid being overt about these themes, leaving many lyrics open to interpretation for listeners.
This is an interview talking about the band Fall Out Boy and their musical career.
While widely considered to be a pop punk band, Fall Out Boy has also been described as pop rock and emo and cites emo group The Get Up Kids as an influence among many other bands. When interviewed for a retrospective article in Alternative Press at the time The Get Up Kids disbanded in 2005, Pete Wentz stated that “Fall Out Boy would not be a band if it were not for The Get Up Kids.” Early in the band’s career, when Jared Logan was producing their debut album, he asked bassist Pete Wentz what sound the band desired for recording. Wentz responded by “handing over the first two New Found Glory records.” Wentz also cites Green Day, the Ramones, Screeching Weasel, Metallica, Earth Crisis, Gorilla Biscuits and Lifetime as influences. The band acknowledges its hardcore punk roots as an influence; all four members were involved in theChicago hardcore scene before joining Fall Out Boy. Wentz described the band’s affiliation with the genre by saying “I think the interesting thing is that we are all hardcore kids that are writing pop music…It gives us a different style because at our core we are always hardcore. That aspect is always going to be evident in the music. We are hardcore kids that couldn’t quite cut it as hardcore kids.”He referred to Fall Out Boy’s genre as “softcore”: hardcore punk mixed with pop sensibility. Lead singer Patrick Stump, however, is also influenced by artists he listened to while growing up including Prince, David Bowie and Michael Jackson.
PAX AM Days was released on October 15th 2013. PAX AM Days consists of punk and hardcore influenced tracks recorded during a two-day “marathon” session with producer Ryan Adams and the band in July 2013 at PAX AM Studios. This album is the second album released in 2013 after the comeback album Save Rock and Roll.
In 2012, rumours of Fall Out Boy writing new music started to circulate. However, Stump, Wentz, and Trohman were quick to deny any work by the band collectively to write new material.On February 4, 2013, the band officially announced that their hiatus had ended; announcing a new album entitled Save Rock and Roll, as well as a tour.On September 30, the band officially announced that they will release new EP called PAX AM Days in collaboration with producer Ryan Adams which will be released on October 15, 2013. PAX AM Days consists of punk and hardcore influenced tracks recorded during a two-day “marathon” session with producer Ryan Adams and the band in July 2013 at PAX AM Studios.
After the announcement of the band’s hiatus, Fall Out Boy members moved on to musical side projects that they felt they could not participate in while Fall Out Boy was active. Guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley. Hurley teamed up with Josh Newton from Every time I die to form the heavy metal supergroup The Damned Things. The band released their debut album Ironiclast in December 2010. Hurley also plays in the hardcore band Burning Empires, as well as other hardcore punk/heavy metal bands. He continues to manage his record label, F**k City. With Damned Things on hiatus as Anthrax and Every Time I Die members are on new album cycles, Trohman formed With Knives and Hurley drums in the hardcore band Enabler.
In 2010, Patrick Stump began producing his debut solo album, titled Soul Punk and released it on October 18, 2011. He has released a remix of an album track called “This City” to iTunes as the album’s first single and created a music video for it. During his production of Soul Punk, Stump released his debut 6-song EP titled Truant Wave as a digital download to iTunes on February 22, 2011. Soul Punk features no guest musicians as Stump plays all the instruments on the album, as well as writing all lyrics, composing all music, and self-producing. He jokingly considers the album a “big, convoluted way to get me to play drums again, because I really just miss playing drums”.
In July 2010, Pete Wentz, with singer Bebe Rexha, formed the ska/electropop band Black Cards, a project inspired by a discussion Wentz had with producer Sam Hollander about mashing up ska, dance and reggae with 1980s British rock and pop to create a new experimental sound.
