My Chemical Romance (commonly abbreviated MCR or called My Chem by fans and
My Chem Rom by the media) is a popular American Rock band. The genre of
music the band plays is often misinterpreted and highly debated. The band
cites their influences from other groups such as Thursday, Iron Maiden, the
Smiths and the Misfits. The band members hail from Belleville and Kearny,
New Jersey (except drummer Bob Bryar, from Chicago, Illinois). Bassist Mikey
Way coined the band's name from a book entitled Ecstasy: Three Tales of
Chemical Romance, by Irvine Welsh.
The band was formed by frontman Gerard Way and ex-drummer Matt Pelissier in
2001. MCR released their first full album I Brought You My Bullets, You
Brought Me Your Love in 2002 on independent label Eyeball Records, which
earned them an underground following; the album was produced by Thursday
frontman Geoff Rickly.

2004 saw the release of their second album and major label debut Three
Cheers for Sweet Revenge and their first hit single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)".
"Helena" was their second single, and it earned them five MTV Video Music
Awards nominations and two Kerrang! Awards. (At the MTV ceremony, Usher met
the band and called their lead singer "Steve" [3]). Their third (and most
recent) single from the album is "The Ghost of You".
On March 21, 2006, MCR plans on releasing, Life on the Murder Scene which
will be a DVD giving a behind-the-scenes look at their rise to fame. A third
album is expected in the summer of 2006, but no title or official release
date have been announced as yet.
My Chemical Romance's popularity has spread internationally particularly in
both the UK and Australia (they played two shows with Green Day and Jimmy
Eat World in Sydney and Melbourne and a show in Brisbane in December 2005).
The lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way, was formerly very good
friends with The Used lead singer, Bert McCracken. The two bands
collaborated on a cover of "Under Pressure" that was released on later
prints of The Used's album, "In Love and Death". |
