We posted about the Fearless/Hopeless Records mashup album that SoundCloud user Dr Brixx released, but we stumbled across another mashup that sounds all too familiar to our pop-punk honed ears.
My Chemical Romance will hit the road in January for their 2011 “The World Contamination” tour — a full-scale trek in support of their brand-new album “Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys,” which will be released by Reprise Records on Monday, November 22nd. The tour will launch on April 1, 2011 in Portland, OR.
On November 22, My Chemical Romance will return with their supercharged new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and if they seem rather invigorated this time out — what with frontman Gerard Way’s radioactive-red dye job and their newfound affinity for Trans Ams and DayGlo leather jackets — well, they owe it all to one song: the hyperkinetic first single, “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na).”
On Wednesday night, My Chemical Romance confirmed what most of its fans had already been buzzing about for weeks now: Drummer Bob Bryar has left the band.
If you thought 2009 was a big year for music, just wait until you see what 2010 has in store.
Berkeley, Calif. pop-punk trio Green Day has grabbed Rolling Stone’s number-one spot for best single, best album and top artist of the decade.
There was a time, long before the multiplatinum records and the pancake makeup, before the Eisner Award-winning comics or the Dylan cover in the “Watchmen” film, when My Chemical Romance were just another band from New Jersey. They would like very much to get back to that time. So that’s goal number one with their new album – the follow-up to the massively successful, massively ambitious “Welcome to the Black Parade” – which they’re currently writing in Los Angeles. They hope to get back to their roots – to make manic, fast-and-furious, spur-of-the-moment punk. And, above all, to keep it… Read more »
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way ‘s newest creation isn’t a CD – it’s an upcoming baby. A representative for the singer says Way, 31, and wife Lindsey, bass player of the band Mindless Self Indulgence, are expecting their first child. The baby is due early in the summer 2009. The pair have been married since Sept. 4, 2007. My Chemical Romance is known for hits like “Famous Last Words” and “Welcome to the Black Parade.”
‘It will be quite awhile before there’s another My Chemical Romance album,’ front man says at Comic-Con 2007. My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way has always loved comic books. His first job, in high school, was at a local comic book shop in New Jersey. He didn’t actually collect a paycheck each week – his compensation came in the form of free comic books. He idolized the likes of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Frank Miller and Grant Morrison. Long before the band was formed, Way attended the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he majored in illustration and cartooning.… Read more »
In October, the hard-partying, grill-sporting dudes in Avenged Sevenfold will release the self-titled follow-up to 2005’s City of Evil, the band’s breakout LP that’s sold close to 810,000 copies in the U.S. alone. The album is the California metalcore act’s first attempt at self-producing, but according to frontman M. Shadows, that wasn’t always the plan.”We were going to do it with Rob Cavallo,” said Shadows, referring to the producer behind Green Day’s 2004 LP American Idiot and My Chemical Romance’s 2006 effort The Black Parade. “It was such a great match – he loved the songs we’d been working on.… Read more »
