My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

They haven't been around for too long, but My Chemical Romance is already turning heads. Their debut album was released on the indie label Eyeball Records out of New Jersey and by the time they were ready to release their sophomore disc, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, they'd been signed by major label Reprise Records. This quintet blasts listeners with a sound being compared to old-skool bands like The Mistfits and the Cure, so you can bet that they'll be sticking around for a while.
