Below are lists of bands within the scope of our archiving project and where to find the materials we archived for them. The previous page defines the scope of bands archived by FOBAT. Because this project originated as a Fall Out Boy archive, the brief descriptions of the bands in the tables below explain their connection to FOB, rather than a proper summary of the band. The individual pages for each band more accurately reflect a biography of each band.

The first tab are bands for which archive materials are properly organized and accessible on this website. The second and third tab reflect bands for which archive materials live in our Google Drive (accessible via Linktree under “digital drive”) and Bookmarks. Notably, Fall Out Boy is in this category. Efforts are ongoing to move all content, including for FOB, to this website, legal restrictions permitting. Many of these bands have music archived on DuPage County Hardcore.
