According to Way’s Instagram post, he was going through unreleased material while in isolation and figured he could give fans something to listen to. Some of the tracks were intended to be released as singles, but that won’t be the case now.
“I’m calling all of this stuff Distraction Or Despair since that seems to be the two things I keep shifting between. Probably a lot of other people too,” he wrote on social media. “But I think only some of the tracks are tied to an “album” of that name. I’m just winging it, keeping it casual. May add some notes to the tracks.”
After a six-year-long hiatus, Gerard Way decided to reunite with his My Chemical Romance bandmates in October 2019 for a one-off show in Los Angeles. Following a positive reaction from the fans, the group decided to embark on a worldwide tour in 2020. The tour was scheduled to kick off in Australia on March 20th, but the shows were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

After nine-years of, iconic nu-metal band Rage Against The Machine are reforming for three major concert dates, including a headlining slot at Coachella. Expect political lyrics, wicked riffs and major rage.
After the success of the Spice Girls reunion, it’s no surprise that noughties pop band The Pussycat Dolls are reforming for a 2020 tour. They are returning after a decade off and may even be releasing new music as well as reviving old classics.

]]>The band’s return couldn’t have come at a better time as many popular singers today such as Halsey, Yungblud, and the late Lil Peep, have talked about the influence My Chemical Romance has had on their music.
Throughout the hour and 45-minute show, the fans went crazy over singer Gerard Way, bassist Mikey Way, and guitarists Frank Iero and Ray Toro. The band opened with chart-topper “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and Way said to the crowd, “We didn’t know if this show was ever gonna happen, so thanks for showing up.”
During the first half of the show, the band played “Make Room!!!” and “You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison” with Youth Code’s Sara Taylor as a guest vocalist. Other songs performed were “Teenagers,” “Mama,” “Famous Last Words,” “Helena,” and “Vampire Money.”
Fittingly, the band ended the night with one of their most successful songs, “Welcome to the Black Parade.” Prior to performing the song Way said to the crowd, “We have one more song for you… maybe it’s the one you want to hear.”
The show was dedicated to the band’s former manager Lauren Valencia who sadly passed away from cancer back in July.

]]>Although the comics may seem like a sidestep away from Way’s music career, the My Chemical Romance star has revealed that music, in fact, played a very important part in his creation of the comics.
Speaking with NME, he explained that the music he was obsessively listening to during the writing process had shaped the “feel” of the comics.
“When I wrote the first book, I was listening obsessively to Teenage Fanclub, the Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins, and I think the influence of those records – and the feel of those records – are in the comics,” he explained. “With the TV show, I didn’t have a lot of input – Steve came to it with a pretty clear idea of the music he wanted to use. When he writes scripts, he includes songs as he goes, a bit like [Guardians Of The Galaxy director] James Gunn does.”
He continued: “Moving forward though, if we get a second season, I’ve said to Steve that I’d really like to get involved more there. I’m of the mind that when you have a big captive audience, you can introduce them to more left-of-center stuff. I’d always pick a song by a band like Wire or Gang Of Four over the sort of stuff Steve does, although I think he’s incredible at using songs you’ve heard before in really interesting ways.”
The Umbrella Academy has been renewed for a second season but no release date has yet been confirmed.

]]>If you are a My Chemical Romance fan then by now you have probably read, watched or at least seen a trailer for Gerard Way’s comic The Umbrella Academy, which has now been adapted by Netflix into a series. The series is not your typical superhero story and deals with pressing family issues, particularly when it comes to dysfunction.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gerard Way reveals that his experience being in My Chemical Romance helped shape the comics and its characters.
“Being in a band is like being in a dysfunctional family and all these personalities are really distinct and really big, not just the people in your band, but the people you meet on the road or the crew that you work with and all this stuff,” he explained.
“A band especially is a dysfunctional family, so there’s little bits of me in all the characters,
He added: “We were in a big pressure cooker of fame and notoriety and the characters experience that in the comic and the show.”
