My Chemical Romance is an American rock band from Newark, New Jersey, formed in 2001. The band's lineup consists of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way. They are known for their unique blend of alternative rock, punk, and theatrical elements as well as their distinctive emo and pop punk style that garnered them a dedicated fan base. Their music often deals with themes of personal struggle, intimate relationships, and the dark side of fame.

My Chemical Romance achieved commercial success with their 2004 album "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge," which went platinum in just over a year. However, it was their 2006 concept album, "The Black Parade," that positioned them as one of the most influential rock groups of the 2000s, with its lead single "Welcome to the Black Parade" becoming their most recognizable anthem. The band's journey includes a hiatus from 2013 to 2019, fueling anticipation for new music among their devoted followers. They returned with a reunion tour announcement in 2019, and their most recent release, "The Foundations of Decay," came in 2022, showing hints of the band's evolving sound while staying true to the intense, emotive style that has defined them throughout their career.
