My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band. They are in New Jersey. Their name was inspired by author Irvine Welsh (of Trainspotting fame), and while many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded.
My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier decided to try writing some songs together. The first tune that Gerard and Matt, who also had been friends since high school, came up with was called "Skylines and Turnstiles" (a post-9/11 song written after Gerard witnessed the Twin Towers fall while working at his animation job in New York City. Both felt good about the song, and Gerard asked guitarist Ray Toro if he would be interested in working with them. My Chemical Romance's five-man lineup was complete when Gerard, Matt and Ray joined forces with bassist Mikey Way (Gerad's little brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With that lineup in place, the band started playing all around the Northeast Corridor and made plans to begin working on their first album.
In 2002, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. In 2003, My Chemical Romance signed with Reprise/Warner Bros. and released the aggressively slick Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge one year later. Proving to be hugely popular, the album boasted several successful singles on commercial radio and MTV, including "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," "Helena," and "The Ghost of You," as the album climbed the Billboard charts. On the next year, they signed with Reprise Records and released their major label debut Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. The album was a commercial success, selling over one million copies. The band followed this success with 2006's The Black Parade, featuring their hit singles, "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers". The band also filmed a live DVD inMexico City
