My Chemical Romance have announced that they will be going on a “recording hiatus” to re-evaluate themselves as a band. You can read the full article here.
Blender.com has a new weekly contest entitled “Blender Bytesâ€. Each week a different musical artist asks a music related trivia question, and fans can answer for a chance to win musical gear. This week’s installment features My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way asking Ramones trivia, and it can be viewed right here.
After the rumors flying around on various online forums regarding a possible new album release for the now renowned band My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way confirms that the band working on a new album is very possible in the near future.
“It feels like it’s about the right time to be making a new record,†Way tells the media. “Maybe that’s because ‘The Black Parade’ was talked about for so long before it was released, but it feels like that album’s been out for a long time now. It’s only been eight months but we’re already on our fourth single and we’ve played a lot of shows. ‘The Black Parade’ was the kind of record that you make but don’t necessarily have a burning desire to perform because its creation was almost the point,†he adds. “It was such an intense experience to make it, that there was almost a feeling of wanting to move on as soon as we released it. It was so artistically ambitious that it made us want to keep on creating.â€
However, no future endeavors for this band seem to be set in stone, as prior to Gerard Way saying this, most MCR fans were under the impression that My Chem was going to go on a two year tour for their latest album “The Black Parade” before any new releases.
Saosin just confirmed that they will be joining the Projekt Revolution Tour this summer. The Projekt Revolution will kick off on July 25th and the last stop will be on September 3 in Denver at the Coors Amphitheatre. Fans can expect to see Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, Placebo and Julien-K on the Main Stage and Mindless Self Indulgence, Saosin, The Bled, Styles of Beyond and Madina Lake on the Revolution Stage.
