<P> Ross and Urie soon began to commit to their laptops the demos they had been developing and posted three early demos ( `` Time to Dance , '' `` Nails for Breakfast , Tacks for Snacks '' and `` Camisado '' ) on PureVolume . On a whim , they sent a link to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz via a LiveJournal account . Wentz , who was in Los Angeles at the time with the rest of Fall Out Boy working on the band 's major - label debut , From Under the Cork Tree , drove to Las Vegas to meet with the young , unsigned band . Upon hearing `` two to three '' songs during band practice , Wentz was impressed and immediately wanted the band to sign to his Fueled by Ramen imprint label Decaydance Records , which made the band the first on the new label . Around December 2004 , the group signed to the label . As news broke that Wentz had signed Panic ! ( who had yet to perform a single live show ) , fans on the internet began to bash the group . `` Almost right away we knew what was going to happen , '' Ross explained in a 2006 interview . `` We had two songs online and people were already making assumptions on what kind of band we were and what we were going to sound like .
