Fall Out Boy Helps Charities

American pop punk bands continue to be successful in the charts and Fall Out Boy has a loyal fan base. Formed in 2001 in a suburb of Chicago, the current members are Patrick Stump on lead vocals and guitar, Pete Wentz on bass guitar, Joe Trohman on guitar and Andy Hurley on drums. Stump writes most of the music and Wentz writes the majority of the lyrics, often expressing personal experiences.
In addition to chart success, the band has a busy schedule of live gigs and tours. They have toured the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. Fall Out Boy have also played in countries, not normally on the rock tour circuit, such as South Africa, Uganda and Russia. They have a connection with Uganda because they support the charity, Invisible Children Inc., which is an organization that helps children in Northern Uganda, affected by civil war.
