Joe Trohman

Joe Trohman is an American musician, singer, and record producer. He is best known as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the American rock band Fall Out Boy, as well as the lead guitarist for heavy metal supergroup the Damned Things. Fall Out Boy began in 2001 as Trohman and Pete Wentz's side project from the hardcore punk scene they were involved with, and the band has scored four number one albums on the US Billboard 200, as well as numerous platinum and multi platinum singles in the US and abroad.

After a three year long hiatus, Fall Out Boy announced a comeback with a new album, tour, and single in February 2013. Since then, the band has released three full-length albums, along with two EPs, a remix album, and a greatest-hits compilation.

Trohman has always been open about his struggles with his mental health, specifically how he has dealt with his depression, OCD, and Impostor syndrome throughout his life. On March 10, 2021, Trohman announced his podcast "I Hate Myself," in partnership with Heavy Metal Magazine and Seth Green. Each episode of the podcast features a guest who joins Trohman and Green to speak about their mental health. Notable guests on "I Hate Myself" include Emma Chamberlain, George C. Romero, and Ryan Simpkins.

In March 2022, the first issue of "The Axe," a comic written by Trohman and Brian Posehn and illustrated by Scott Koblish, was released in Heavy Metal Magazine. "The Axe" is a horror-comedy story about three teenagers who steal a cursed guitar, opening up a portal to Sheol, an alternate dimension.

Trohman's memoir, "None of This Rocks," was released on September 13, 2022.
