Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001. The band consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, lead guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. The band originated from Chicago's hardcore punk scene, with which all members were involved at one point. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of the members' respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording the group's debut album, Take This to Your Grave. The album became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, as well as commercial success. Take This to Your Grave has commonly been cited as an influential blueprint for pop punk music in the 2000s.

In the 22 years since the 1995 release of Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee have grown into the last great American arena/stadium rock band, won 11 Grammy Awards, sold more than 25 million records and raised tens of thousands of voices night after night with modern rock's most indelible anthems. Foo Fighters' journey began with that 1995 debut and grew into one of rock's most hallowed discographies, including 1997's double-platinum The Colour and the Shape, Best Rock Album Grammy winners There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999) and One By One (2002), the epic double LP Your Honor released in the FF 10th anniversary year of 2005, third and fourth Best Rock Album Grammy winners Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace (2007) and Wasting Light (2011), and eighth FF album Sonic Highways, which shares its title with Grohl's double-Emmy-winning HBO docuseries. In 2015, the band's 20th anniversary celebration was the year's #5 grossing tour-after which the band released the free Saint Cecilia EP as a thank you to its fans. Foo Fighters recently resurfaced with "Run," the surprise hard rock anthem of the summer and first taste of the band's upcoming ninth album Concrete and Gold. Unleashed without warning, "Run" and its mind-boggling time warp of a video combined powers to produce the biggest launch of any Foo Fighters single-making Concrete and Gold's release possibly the most highly anticipated in the band's history.
