Perhaps the most popular punk band since Green Day hit the mainstream in the mid 1990s.
Chicago's Fall Out Boy used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk with a heavy debt to the emo scene. They debuted with a self-released demo in 2001, followed by a split LP (with Project Rocket) and the mini-LP Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend. An advance from Island financed the recording of Take This to Your Grave (2003). Their break-out album, the ambitious From Under the Cork Tree, followed in 2005, and spawned two Top Ten hits. The album went double platinum. Infinity on High (2007) debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and also went platinum. ~ Johnny Loftus
