***Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy*** is a [split](/source/Split_album) [EP](/source/Extended_play) by American [rock](/source/Rock_music) bands [Project Rocket](/source/Project_Rocket) and [Fall Out Boy](/source/Fall_Out_Boy), released by [Uprising Records](/source/Uprising_Records) in 2002. It was the first official release for both bands. The split EP has sold 25,000 copies in the United States as of August 2008, according to *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))*.[2][3]

## Background

This would be the first album for members of [Fall Out Boy](/source/Fall_Out_Boy) and [Project Rocket](/source/Project_Rocket) to be done away from the [hardcore](/source/Hardcore_punk) style as opposed to their previous bands, though it still contains certain hardcore influences. Jared Logan played the drums for Fall Out Boy in the recording.[4] [Andy Hurley](/source/Andy_Hurley), the drummer for Project Rocket at the time, later agreed to drum part-time for Fall Out Boy before eventually joining full-time, after some lineup changes were made.

## Re-releases

The tracks were reversed in the 2005 re-release of the album.[5] Project Rocket's tracks came first, followed by those of Fall Out Boy. There is also a reprint which features the front cover of the re-release, although without the "split ep" title;[6] the track numbering on the case and CD are the same as the re-release but the tracks on the CD play in the order of the original pressing. Also, the track "Growing Up" is listed as "Growing" on top of the disc.[4]

Fall Out Boy would later re-record their three songs from the EP for their following mini-LP *[Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend](/source/Fall_Out_Boy's_Evening_Out_with_Your_Girlfriend)*. Project Rocket also re-recorded "You Charlatan" for their album *[New Year's Revolution](/source/New_Year's_Revolution_(album))*.

## Track listing

Tracks 1–3 were written and arranged by Project Rocket; tracks 4–6 were written and arranged by Fall Out Boy.[7]
