In a fit of "they were still around?", legendary pop-punkers My Chemical Romance have declared that the band is at an end, issuing an announcement on their website yesterday:
"Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.
My Chemical Romance"
The announcement comes as similarly huge pop-punk act Fallout Boy have ended their hiatus and declared a tour to celebrate.
For what it's worth, and I only really liked 'Teenagers' (8th grade was a tumultuous time, indeed), MCR were one of the more seminal pop-punk acts to develop in the early 2000s. They leave behind a twelve-year legacy and four studio albums. With the breakups of Atreyu (whose various bandmember drifted apart in 2011), Bleeding Through, and the tragic death of Suicide Silence's Mitch Lucker, 2013 is shaping up to be a year of breakups, as well as of promise.
