Pencey Prep

Pencey Prep was born from the rubble of Sector 12, a band which Frank Iero started when he was in high school. Sector 12 had done their final tour and asked old friend John "Hambone" McGuire to play bass because at the time the drummer had been kicked out and bass player Bruno Rocha needed to switch to drums. Pencey Prep originally was going to be named "Whatch You Talkin Bout Willis" until Hambone gave Frank the challenge of either naming the band by the next day or using the name he had come up with.
