Fall Out Boy

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Fall Out Boy formed in 2001 in the suburbs of Chicago.  The quartet used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk with a heavy debt to the emo scene.  The band garnered positive reviews for their gigs at South by Southwest and numerous tour appearances. Their breakout album, the ambitious From Under The Cork Tree, was released in the spring of 2005 and quickly reached the Top Ten of Billboard’s album chart and spawned two Top Ten hits with “Sugar We’re Going Down” and the furiously upbeat “Dance, Dance.” The album went double platinum, and earned the guys a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.  What is the name of the Chicago suburb where Fall Out Boy formed?

A)  Wilmette

B)  Lincoln

C)  Winterhaven
