My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

They haven't been around for too long, but My Chemical Romance is already turning heads.

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.
