Holed up in a spacious meeting room at a luxury London hotel during a “whirlwind” promotional trip of shows and signings, Pete, Patrick and drummer Andy Hurley are happily reflecting on a unique musical relationship that has sparked one of the best albums of their career – and by their unbelievably high standards, that’s no mean feat.
But it was Pete’s words that gave him the fuel he really needed. Following the daring, experimental pop of 2018’s M A N I A, the frontman – who writes almost all of the music – found himself starting to come up with ideas for album number eight in a relatively low-key capacity soon after its predecessor.
It’s musings such as these that, according to Patrick, “propelled” So Much (For) Stardust to what it is now. And I think that’s what Fall Out Boy is…” “I’ll go and then I’m like, ‘Well, I just wanna go home.’ I’m the master of the early exit. “I feel like every time I’m going somewhere, or my friends invite me somewhere, I have the Star Wars ‘It’s a trap!’ thing,” Pete continues. “It’s a planet for hermits!” counters Patrick. So… have Fall Out Boy just made a record for hermits? Anthemic lead single Love From The Other Side relatably admits how, ‘ I’d never go / I just wanna be invited,’ while Fake Out hears vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump repeat, ‘ Make no plans and none can be broken.’ This swift, self-effacing assessment from the bassist and lyricist comes directly after we quiz Pete about some of his superb one-liners on the Chicago heroes’ fabulous ( fobulous?!) eighth album, So Much (For) Stardust. “None of it is exactly right, but it’s exactly who we are ( laughs).” “We’re on TRL but we’re, like, these shitty punk guys,” he begins self-deprecatingly, summing up how their superstar status and hardcore roots have successfully co-existed for the past 20 years. In 2018, the band released their 7th album, MANIA, which was their last album until 2023, when they released their 8th studio album, So Much (for) Stardust.By Pete Wentz’ own admission, Fall Out Boy are a band who don’t make a whole lot of sense. In 2016, the group recorded a cover of the Ghostbusters theme song with Missy Elliott for the film of the same name. In 2014 the band contributed the single " Immortals" to the Big Hero 6 soundtrack, which was later featured on their sixth studio album American Beauty/American Psycho. Later in the year they also released PAX AM Days, a short EP influenced by the band's hardcore punk background. įall Out Boy returned in 2013 with Save Rock and Roll, which featured a range of guest contributors including Courtney Love and Elton John. In 2009, Fall Out Boy went on hiatus and released the compilation album Believers Never Die. The following year they released a cover of Michael Jackson's " Beat It" featuring John Mayer, as well as their fourth album Folie à Deux. Infinity on High was released in 2007, when the band also collaborated with Timbaland on "One and Only". In 2004 the band released three new songs on the EP My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, which was followed in 2005 by second album From Under the Cork Tree. In the same year, the band released a cover of Jawbreaker's "Save Your Generation", as well as the Christmas-themed "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out". After a number of extended plays (EPs) and a mini album, the band released its debut full-length album Take This to Your Grave in May 2003. The group's songwriting is typically led by Wentz (lyrics) and Stump (lyrics/singing), although both Trohman and Hurley are also co-credited for the band's compositions. Formed in 2001, the band is composed of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley.
