Gerard Way Hints at New My Chemical Romance Album: ‘You Guys Deserve Another Record’

Gerard Way revealed at My Chemical Romance’s concert Saturday in San Antonio that the band plans on recording a new album, their first LP in over 16 years.

My Chemical Romance has spent the past year on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of 2006’s The Black Parade. The group released one more LP — 2010’s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys — before disbanding for a half-decade in the mid-2010s.

The group reunited in 2019 for a series of tours but only one new song, 2022’s “The Foundations of Decay.” However, at Saturday’s show, Way revealed to fans that MCR hopes to start work on their long-awaited next album.

“We should probably make more songs. [“The Foundations of Decay”] was really awesome when we kept doing it,” Way told fans at the Alamodome. “And then you know, stuff happens, life happens. But, just know that, we kind of always wanted to make another record, so we hope to. Because you guys, honestly, kept us alive for so long that you guys deserve another record.”

Saturday’s concert marked the official end of the North American leg of the Long Live the Black Parade Tour, though the band will remain on the road for a pair of festival appearances — Louisville’s Louder Than Life and Sacramento’s Aftershock — before My Chemical Romance play a five-night residency at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl that concludes on Halloween, October 31.

After that, MCR will embark on a monthlong tour of southeast Asia that ends in late-November, at which point the band hopefully can get back in the studio.

Hear My Morning Jacket, Preservation Hall Jazz Band Cover Neil Young’s ‘Like a Hurricane’

My Morning Jacket and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band mined new emotion in Neil Young‘s “Like a Hurricane” for an upcoming tribute album, Heart of Gold. Their rendition of the song, which appeared on Young’s 1977 album, American Stars ‘n Bars, still features a monster guitar solo, but Jim James sings the vocals with unusual sadness and the soulful touches from the Jazz Band’s brass instruments, including their own solos, put a unique spin on the song.

Both Heart of Gold: The Songs of Neil Young, Vol. 2 – Out of the Blue and Vol. 3 – Into the Black will come out on November 6 to raise money for the Bridge School, the California-based nonprofit that Young co-founded with his ex-wife Pegi 40 years ago to help children with speech and physical disabilities. Lucinda Williams, Ann Wilson, Peter Frampton, MJ Lenderman, Ben Gibbard, and Los Lobos are among the artists who contributed cover versions. Both volumes are available for pre-order.

Why Is the Entire Internet Talking About Stella Lefty?

Why Is the Entire Internet Talking About Stella Lefty?

By now, you’ve probably heard the name Stella Lefty — and if you haven’t, you must not spend time online. She’s the 24-year-old singer-songwriter behind hit single, “Boston,” which has been steadily climbing the Billboard Hot 100 this summer and currently sits at Number Two. She’s gone viral on TikTok for covering songs by Noah Kahan and Tyler Childers, slowly building an audience that helped her sell out her upcoming tour, and position her as a rising country pop star with weekly streams in the tens of millions.

Lefty, who was born Stella Lefkofsky, hasn’t been in the spotlight all that long, but she’s already become a hot topic on the wonderful, totally kind and nuanced place that is the internet. When “Boston” first shot up the Hot 100 this summer, social media turned a critical eye on the singer and her quick blast to fame. At first, online critics scrutinized Lefty for her background and lobbed “industry plant” and “nepo baby” accusations her way because of her billionaire father, the businessman and Groupon founder Eric Lefkofsky. But now, the singer has come under fire for allegedly borrowing heavily from popular songs in her music without proper credit. Here’s a look at everything that’s happened.

So to come back now and host the VMAs, all these years later, that’s a full-circle moment for me.”
