With two years of delay and worrying about COVID procedures, My Chemical Romance (MCR) is returning back to the spotlight by heading back out on tour.  The well-known 2000’s band that helped put pop punk on the map will tour locally on August 30th in Albany.

The current make-up of the band includes original members: Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro, and Jarrod Alexander. Tickets go on sale today at noon for all new dates of the tour including Albany. 

MCR dominated 2000’s mainstream music, combining punk, metal, and emo styles of music to create masterpieces of work such as “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” and “ The Black Parade”. Those years of music were saved by punk being resurrected into a pop style with bands such as Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, Good Charlotte,  The All-American Rejects, and My Chemical Romance. 

We have shared some MCR songs below that will get you excited for August or for the students and teachers of Weedsport to relive the nostalgia and youth of the 2000s.
