My Chemical Romance

Like fellow 2004 Artist to Watch Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance formed in 2001 and broke through a few short years later. For MCR, it was 2004's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge that established them as chart heroes, and 2006's The Black Parade proved their artistic bona fides with a dark concept album and tour to match. Fans have been clamoring for the band's follow-up, which is currently being recorded with Brendan O'Brien.
