My Chemical Romance is a punk rock band from New Jersey. They have released three albums. Their latest album is The Black Parade. It was released in 2006. They are sometimes regarded as being an "emo" band. However, the band members say that they are not an "emo" band. Their lead singer is Gerard Way.

The band was started by Gerard Way and Matt Pelissier. The band’s name comes from an Irvine Welsh book. It was suggested by Gerard’s younger brother, Mikey. Mikey started playing bass with them. A few of months later, Frank joined as the second guitar player.
