Patrick Stump has been making a name for himself in the film world, most recently writing the theme song for the new Disney Junior show Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and during a recent interview with Screen Rant the Fall Out Boy frontman revealed how his band actually primed him for score work.
âIn Fall Out Boy, Iâm writing the music, but Iâve always been an interpreter. Iâm interpreting Pete [Wentz, bass]âs lyrics," he explained. "I think that really primed me for score work because youâre helping somebody else tell their story. Youâre using your music to help somebody else tell the story, and thatâs something that Iâm naturally drawn to and want to do."
âEven though, musically, a lot of the things that I do when scoring â whether itâs [Spidey and His Amazing Friends] or a horror movie or a romantic comedy â sound completely different than Fall Out Boy, itâs still the same motivation. Somebody else has a story they want to tell that needs music. And Iâm the guy; Iâm here to help.â
Fall Out Boy is currently on the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer. Check out the setlist from the tour opener here and a full list of dates here.
