Biography

When Fall Out Boy went on hiatus in early 2010, bassist/songwriter Pete Wentz wasted little time launching a new project. He decamped to Jamaica, where he became inspired by the country's long history of reggae music. Working with producer Sam Hollander, he began sketching out a series of songs with tropical atmospherics, dance rhythms, and female vocals. He then began releasing the songs via the Internet under the name Black Cards. ~ Andrew Leahey
