The band booked a two-week tour with Spitalfield, but Pareskuwicz was unable to get time off from work and Kunasch was kicked out of the band as the group "had all gotten sick of him. The band invited Hurley instead to fill-in once more, while Stump borrowed one of Trohman's guitars for the trek. While most shows were cancelled, the band played any show possible: "Let's just get on whatever show we can. You can pay us in pizza," remembered Wentz. As the tour concluded, the general consensus was that Hurley would be the band's new drummer, and the band began to shop around the three songs from the group's unreleased split as a demo to record labels.
The band members set their sights on pop punk labels, and attempted with considerable effort to join Drive-Thru Records. A showcase for label co-founders went largely mediocre, and the band were offered to sign to side label Rushmore, an offer that the members of the band declined.
The band re-entered the studio with O'Keefe to record several more tracks to create label interest. Wentz felt "in the backseat" in writing the songs and temporarily questioned his place in the group, but Stump argued in his favor: "No! That's not fair! Don't leave me with this band! Don't make me kind of like this band and then leave it!
That's bullshit! The band's early tour vehicle was a "tiny V6 that was running on three cylinders, and it was not getting enough air, so it would drive really slowly," recalled Wentz. It was so hot it melted the plastic molding around the windows. When it rained, we'd get all wet. Rob Stevenson from Island Records eventually offered the band a "first-ever incubator sort of deal," in which they gave the band money to sign with Fueled by Ramen for the group's one-off debut, knowing they could "upstream" the band to radio on the sophomore record.
Fueled by Ramen, at the time the smallest of independent labels clamoring to sign the band, would effectively release the group's debut album and help build the band's ever-expanding fanbase before the group moved to Island.
The band again partnered with O'Keefe at Smart Studios, bringing together the three songs from the demo and recording an additional seven songs in nine days. The band, according to Stump, didn't "sleep anywhere that we could shower [ It was crazy. Arguments during the recording sessions led to what "most reductively boils down to Wentz writing the lyrics and Stump writing the melodies. Previously, one of the band's earliest recordings, Evening Out with Your Girlfriend , had not seen release until shortly before Grave in March , when the band had gained considerable momentum.
The band actively tried to stop Uprising from releasing the recordings as the band's relationship with Muttaqi had grown sour , as the band viewed it as a "giant piece of garbage" recorded before Hurley's involvement that the band members ceased to consider the debut album of the group.
Gradually, the band's fanbase grew in size as the label pushed for the album's mainstream success. According to Wentz, shows began to end in a near-riot and the group were banned from several venues because the entire crowd would end up onstage. The band joined the Warped Tour for five dates in the summer of , and on one date the band had only performed three songs when the stage collapsed due to the large crowd.
The band graced the cover of the August edition of Alternative Press , and listening stations at Hot Topic partially helped the album move 2,, copies per week by Christmas , at which point the label considered the band "tipping" into mainstream success.
The band had been flooded with "hyperbolic praise," and deemed "the next big thing" by multiple media outlets. The EP was the band's first charting on the Billboard at number From Under the Cork Tree was recorded in Burbank, California, and served as the first time the band had stayed in California for an extended period of time.
The group lived in corporate housing during the making of the album. It was the first Fall Out Boy record in which Stump created all the music and Wentz wrote all the lyrics, continuing the approach they took for some songs on Grave.
Stump felt that this process was much more "smooth" as every member was able to focus on his individual strengths. He explained: "We haven't had any of those moments when I play the music and he'll say, 'I don't like that,' and he'll read me lyrics and I'll say, 'I don't like those lyrics. Two weeks before recording sessions began, the group abandoned ten songs and wrote eight more, including the album's first single, " Sugar, We're Goin Down. The band suffered a setback, however, when Wentz had an emotional breakdown in February , culminating in an unsuccessful suicide attempt.
He had withdrawn from the rest of the group, with his condition only apparent through his lyrics, and had also become obsessed with the recent Indian tsunami and his own self-doubt. Wentz swallowed a handful of Ativan anxiety pills he described the act as "hypermedicating" in the Chicago Best Buy parking lot.
After being rushed to the hospital and having his stomach pumped, Wentz moved back home to Wilmette to live with his parents. From Under the Cork Tree debuted and peaked at number nine on the Billboard upon its May release.
The record's success led to stardom among teenagers in North America, and the band's first arena tour had the group playing to 10, people per night. Rolling Stone wrote that the band's "anthems," distributed and marketed through their MySpace, connected with "skinny-jeans-wearing teen girls.
The album earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and has sold over 2. In the wake of the band's multiplatinum success, the "especially extroverted" Wentz became the most publicly visible member of the band. He confided to the press his suicide attempt and nude photos of the bassist appeared on the Internet in He gained additional exposure through his clothing line, his Decaydance record label an imprint of Fueled by Ramen , and eventually a celebrity relationship with pop singer Ashlee Simpson, which made the two tabloid fixtures in the United States.
The band began writing songs for the new album while touring, and intended to quickly make a new album in order to keep momentum in the wake of its breakthrough success. In early , the group released its fourth studio album, Infinity on High , which was the band's second release on major label Island.
As reported by Billboard , Fall Out Boy "drifts further from its hardcore punk roots to write increasingly accessible pop tunes," a slight departure from the group's previous more pop punk sound predominant on their effort, Take This to Your Grave. Infinity 's first week was a major success and was the band's biggest selling week, selling , copies to debut at No.
This charting was first started with lead single "The Carpal Tunnel of Love", with minor success on the Billboard charts. On the band's decision to pick the song as a single, Wentz commented "There may be other songs on the record that would be bigger radio hits, but this one had the right message.
It found its greatest success in Australia where it charted at No. In , Fall Out Boy placed at No. The album itself has sold over two million copies worldwide and subsequently was certified Platinum in the United States. Inspired by Maurice Sendak's children's book Where the Wild Things Are , the concert tour and included sets designed by artist Rob Dobi containing images from the book.
The band's "hugely successful" amphitheater tour to promote Infinity led to the release of the live album Live in Phoenix , consisting of live material recorded during a June 22, , concert at Phoenix's Cricket Wireless Pavilion, a date of the Honda Civic Tour.
The track was released as a single and became a mainstay on the iTunes top ten. The band members decided to keep publicity down during the recording of their fourth album, as the group was taken aback by such press surrounding Infinity on High.
Sessions proved to be difficult for the band. Stump called the making of the album "painful", noting that he and Wentz quarreled over many issues, revealing "I threw something across the room over a major-to-minor progression.
It was more of a complex I developed based off of stuff I was reading. It's hard to hear, 'Joe and Andy are just along for the ride.
