NEWS: Mikey Way Moves On From My Chemical Romance With Electric Century

Way began planning Electric Century long before My Chemical Romance hit it big, he just didn't have the means to pull it off ... mostly because he was 12.

"I was in my seventh-grade science class, and I wrote 'Electric Century' on a notebook, and I was like 'I want to do this band,'" he told MTV News. "And right then I began filing away the kind of music I wanted it to be: Britpop, the party influence of bands like the Happy Mondays, New Order, Public Image Ltd. It was always something I wanted to do."

And now, with MCR officially over, he's finally (re)turning his attention to the project, teaming with David Debiak (Sleep Station, New London Fire) to make Electric Century a reality. The band was formally unveiled Wednesday, when Way's image graced Alternative Press' "100 Bands You Need To Know" issue, and since then, things have hit hyperspeed (EC is still so new that they don't have an official press image).
