Regardless, the album proved to be a masterpiece, given everything the band endured as a creative challenge. 14 hour days persisted for five weeks, and everyone lived in a one-bedroom basement studio apartment.and slept in bunk beds. The band remarked that the recording period for Fever was rather stressful.
The entire record was created (as in written, recorded, mixed and mastered) within a period of three and a half weeks, on a budget of $11,000. Upon graduation from high school, the band arrived at SOMD! Studios in College Park, Maryland to record the album that would change their lives. Every member of the band was still in high school at the time of the signing except for Ross, who dropped out of the University of Nevada in order to pursue the band full-time. The band were signed to Wentz imprint label, Decaydance, without having ever recorded an album or played live together. While it pretty much goes against every conventional means of what the recording industry thinks it takes for a group of musicians to make a great studio record, they managed to make something so strangely and ridiculously beautiful upon execution that it's still one of their most highly revered albums to this day.Īfter forming in Las Vegas, NV in 2004 and posting a few demos online, guitarist Ryan Ross was contacted by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, whom was in the process of starting his own label amid the success of his own band. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was one of those albums for me.
