NEWS: Frank Iero Announces Debut Solo Record

Frank Iero, former guitarist of My Chemical Romance, will return with a new album later this year. Staple Records will release‘Stomachaches', the first outing for Frnk Iero And The Cellabration, on August 26.

Iero has written and performed the record solo aside from drums on certain songs by Jarrod Alexander, who also played with My Chemical Romance and recently popped up on Gerard Way’s new single. Iero said:

 “In late 2012 I started to experience an increase in my already painful digestive issues and my creative side started to wither under the weight of not ever feeling well. I turned my basement office into a makeshift studio and every time I felt the pain coming on I’d go downstairs and hammer out an idea. After a few months I started to take a look at what I was making, I had for the first time in my life written a large grip of songs completely alone and without any expectations or plans of what they would be for.

"I’ve always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record. But this was different. These songs, they were all mine. They started inside me as these wretched stomachaches and I had to dig them out of me in order to survive. They were my disease and ultimately became my cure. When I finally took a step back and looked at the body of work I had created I began to notice some common threads. The stories told on this record all seem to touch upon a yearning for love and acceptance, and a longing for a place in which you feel you may finally belong. Sometimes finding solace in the realization that you might not in fact belong anywhere, and drawing a certain power from that.”

Iero last surfaced back in December, releasing the two-song 'For Jamia' EP.
