Producer Neal Avron on the 10th Anniversary of Fall Out Boy's 'From Under the Cork Tree'
"Ten years ago, a relatively unknown punk band from suburban Chicago released an album that would have a permanent influence on pop culture. Fall Out Boy’s major-label debut, From Under the Cork Tree, ushered in a new brand of pop-punk and the oft-derided emo to the masses with a style and flair unheard of on radio at the time. Thanks in part to the unique vocal stylings of singer Patrick Stump and the thought-provoking lyrics of emo posterboy Pete Wentz, singles like “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance” had everyone from punk rockers to frat boys deciphering lyrical tongue-twisters."...READ MORE

THE INSIDE STORY: HOW FROM UNDER THE CORK TREE MADE FALL OUT BOY EMO KINGS
Hi Neal. You didn’t actually want to work with Fall Out Boy when you first heard them. What were your thoughts?
“I got the …Cork Tree demos from their A&R person Rob Stevenson and they were very rough-sounding. It’s not like today where everybody’s got Pro Tools and can make incredible-sounding demos.
