My Chemical Romance

New Jersey rock band formed in 2001 around singer Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and drummer Jarrod "Bob Bryar" (later James Dewees/others on tour). Their 2006 concept album The Black Parade turned emo and pop-punk theatrics into full stage-musical ambition, and its 20th anniversary campaign gave the band its first-ever Billboard 200 No. 1 in November 2026, twenty years after the album's original No. 2 debut.
