this was deleted off of their story right after I took this screenshot, what does it mean!?

25 years ago today… Fall Out Boy played their first show! Here’s a clip from our interview with Patrick where he talks about that night.

Ever heard of Project Rocket? You’ve probably seen them on a split EP with Fall Out Boy. Project Rocket has a way deeper history than you think. We at FOBAT are proud superfans of this short-lived emo project (no pun intended), and we’re here to tell you all about it.

Before Fall Out Boy, there was Arma Angelus. Many FOB superfans know about Arma, but only a small intersection of people truly understand the link between Fall Out Boy and the greater hardcore scene they were a part of.

Our presentation at Wilmette Public Library last week went great, and we're releasing a recording of it at 1 PM CST today! Make sure to check it out on our YouTube channel.

Update on the livestream. Apologies!!

We’ll be having exclusive merch at our presentation. We’ll have custom screen printed t-shirts limited to 25, as well as some special Chicago themed stickers. Note: if you’re attending the presentation, all merch will be CASH ONLY!

Haven’t heard? We’ll be doing a presentation at the Wilmette Public Library on July 18th. Our presentation is LESS THAN ONE MONTH away!

Last summer, we interviewed Mark Rose of Spitalfield at a karaoke night he hosted. Mark is super kind and chatted about Spitalfield and older bands with us. If you like deep Chicago band lore… this interview is for you. You can find it now on our website! (1/4)

After our trip to Chicago and its surrounding suburbs last year, we’ve been granted an amazing opportunity. On July 18th, we will be doing a presentation about Fall Out Boy’s roots at the Wilmette Public Library! Come watch the presentation at 1:00 PM CST. This event is 100% FREE

This CD was found today at Piranha Records near Austin, TX. Fall Out Boy wrote 'Austin, We Have A Problem', one of the demos on the CD, after performing at SXSW in 2003. Although, this song has been leaked for years.

ALSO - We just looked. There's lyrics in the metadata! And a message at the last track?? We'll come back with updates if we have them!

We're sleuthing as we speak- Our last update from Patrick was that the demos were still lost. The Secret Order is mentioned? 3/10 could mean so many things.
