“Start Today” Cover Drops with 20th Anniversary Box Set

Fall Out Boy Start Today : Twenty years after From Under the Cork Tree rewrote the emo rulebook, Fall Out Boy are back with a vengeance and a vault full of memories. To mark the album’s 20th anniversary, the band has released a blistering cover of Gorilla Biscuits’ hardcore classic “Start Today,” a track that first appeared in Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland and now finally lands on streaming platforms. But the real headline? The Fall Out Boy merch drop that’s turning nostalgia into a collector’s fever dream.

Fall Out Boy Start Today : Audio-Only Release That Hits Like a Hardcore Revival

Fall Out Boy’s cover of Gorilla Biscuits’ “Start Today” arrives as an audio-only release, but don’t mistake the lack of visuals for a lack of impact. With raw vocals and punk grit, the track channels the urgency of early 2000s hardcore while layering in the melodic punch that made From Under the Cork Tree a generational anthem. It’s a sonic throwback that feels like a secret handshake between scenes—emo meets hardcore in a time capsule of catharsis.

Fans of the American Wasteland era will recognise the track as a cult favourite, but this version adds a layer of polish and passion that only two decades of evolution can deliver. It’s the perfect sonic appetiser for what’s coming next.

The Box Set: A Shrine to Cork Tree Lore

Shipping October 17, the From Under the Cork Tree 20th Anniversary Box Set is a masterclass in fan service. Available in 3LP, 2CD, and digital formats, it includes:

Remastered versions of all 13 original tracks
Acoustic cuts, BBC live sessions, and remixes
The long-awaited release of “Start Today”
A replica tour poster from the 2006 Black Clouds and Underdogs Tour
A handwritten letter from Pete Wentz
A setlist, ticket stub, and backstage laminate
A comic book cover inspired by “A Little Less Sixteen Candles…”
A “Dance, Dance” prom photo frame that screams early-aughts angst

This isn’t just Fall Out Boy merch—it’s a museum-grade archive of emo mythology.

Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down (in Knitwear): The Sweater That Broke the Internet

Also up for grabs is the Sugar We’re Goin Down knit sweater, a £125 limited-edition piece that pays homage to the one worn in the iconic music video. Expect this to become the holy grail of Fall Out Boy merch.

Designed to ship just in time for winter, the sweater is more than cozy—it’s a wearable relic. Whether you’re braving the cold or just flexing your fandom, it’s the kind of item that turns heads and starts conversations. Emo never looked so chic.

For longtime fans, this drop is a chance to reconnect with the band that made them feel seen. For newcomers, it’s an invitation into a tribe that never stopped dancing, even when the lights went out.

Stitching Together the Past and Present

Fall Out Boy’s 20th anniversary isn’t just a milestone, it’s a movement. With the “Start Today” cover reigniting their hardcore roots and the Fall Out Boy merch drop turning memories into must-haves, the band proves that emo isn’t dead, it’s just better dressed.

So whether you’re pre-ordering the box set, snagging the sweater, or streaming “Start Today” on repeat, one thing’s clear: Fall Out Boy are still going down swinging. And we’re all going down with them.
