My Chemical Romance (commonly abbreviated MCR) is a rock band. The genre of music the band play is often misinterpreted and highly debated, the group’s vocalist Gerard Way refers to their sound simply as “violent pop”. The bands members hail from Belleville and Kearny, New Jersey (except drummer Bob Bryar, from Chicago, Illinois). Bassist Mikey Way coined the band's name from Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance, by Irvine Welsh.[1]
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; it was not as successful as their next album.
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". [2]) Their third single from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is "The Ghost of You". MCR will release in early 2006, 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 also due out in 2006.
