Joe Trohman started his music career at the age of sixteen when he joined a local band and began touring with it as its bassist. Then he, along with Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, and Andy Hurley formed the rock band ‘Fall Out Boy’. This band released its album ‘From Under the Cork Tree’ in 2005 through Island Records. This album was a super hit and ultimately helped the band achieve mainstream success. The album charted at #9 on the US Billboard 200 chart and achieved double platinum status. With its hit songs ‘Sugar, We're Goin Down’ and ‘Dance, Dance’, this album ruled the music industry like a boss.

After this, Fall Out Boy released an album named ‘Infinity on High’ in 2007. This album peaked at #1 position on US Billboard 200 chart and its lead single titled ‘This Ain't a Scene’ also peaked at #1 on the now-defunct Pop 100 chart. Even the second single of ‘Infinity on High’ became a huge hit. Then in 2008, the band’s fifth album ‘Folie à Deux’ came out. This album charted at # 8 on Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold later on.

After a short period of time, Trohman and Hurley along with other musicians, Rob Caggiano, Keith Buckley, Scott Ian, and Josh Newton started the band ‘The Damned Things’ and released their first album ‘Ironiclast’ in 2010. Trohman then started working on a new band with Newton. This band, named ‘With Knives,’ released its debut EP titled ‘Schadenfreude’ in 2012. The following year, Fall Out Boy members collaborated and released their album ‘Save Rock and Roll’. The same year, the band released another EP titled ‘PAX AM Days’. Then in 2015, their sixth album named ‘American Beauty/American Psycho’ came out.
