Fall Out Boy
from Tonight's Musical Guest, Today Hosted by Tonight's Musical Guest, Today
They're pop-punk emo heroes turned anthemic arena radio rock mainstays. Some turned to heavy drug use, while others became tabloid fodder. And hats. Lots of hats. It's FALL OUT BOY week! The career arc is there folks, captured in some ridiculous late night performances. Fall Out Boy explodes into the mainstream with From Under the Cork Tree with a shaky spot on SNL. The anti-vowel movement comes to a head with a pretty great performance of Thnks Fr Th Mmrs on the Tonight Show featuring strings and horns. A black-lit performance on Kimmel in skeleton costumes has to be attempted to be seen to be believed. And an exploration of 2010s radio rock music is reluctantly conducted.
