Wentz was primarily involved in the Chicago hardcore punk scene and was in several bands in the late 1990s. This including First Born, Arma Angelus (alongside Tim McIlrath, frontman of Rise Against), Yellow Road Priest, Racetraitor and many other relatively unknown bands. He claims to have co-founded the pop-punk band Fall Out Boy with Joe Trohman and Patrick Stump, with Andy Hurley later joining the band; but it was later said that he did this for the attention. He told his fans that it was actually Joe Trohman that founded the band. In 2004, Arma Angelus, the band in which Wentz was the vocalist, played its last show.[2]

In 2002, Fall Out Boy released a EP called Fall Out Boy/Project Rocket Split EP. Soon after, in 2003, the band released Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend on Uprising Records.[3] This album would later be digitally remastered and reissued after the bands second successful full album release (Take This To your Grave). Drummer Andy Hurley soon became a part of the band, playing along side Wentz, bassist. Later in 2003, Wentz and the rest of his band mates signed with Island Records, also releasing an acoustic EP called My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue and DVD, in 2004.
