My Chemical Romance will mark their upcoming summer festival dates with the release of their new single ‘Bulletproof Heart’ on June 13th.
Produced by Rob Cavallo, ‘Bulletproof Heart’ is taken from My Chemical Romances recent widely-acclaimed album ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.’ It started life as a straightforward song from the album’s early sessions called ‘Trans Am’ which was ripped apart then tied to a rocket, re-emerging from the sci-fi ether as the worldbeating ‘Bulletproof Heart.’
The high octane video for the track was filmed during the band’s incendiary performance for MTV World Stage that was held at Valencia’s Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias arena venue in March before an audience of 30,000 My Chemical Romance devotees.
My Chemical Romance lead the nominees for this year’s Kerrang! Awards which will be held in London on June 9th. They’re in contention for Best International Band, Best Album for ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’, Best Live, Best Single for ‘Planetary (Go!)’ and Best Video for ‘Na Na Na’.
Having completed a triumphant arena tour in February, My Chemical Romance will return for the following UK and Ireland summer festival shows which culminates with headline sets at Reading and Leeds:
May 15th – Radio 1’s Big Weekend
July 8th – Oxegen Festival
July 10th – T in the Park
August 26th – Reading Festival
August 27th – Leeds Festival
‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’ is the album My Chemical Romance have been building towards their entire, nearly decade long career. From soaring sentiment (‘The Only Hope for Me is You’) to bare-knuckled brawling in the streets (‘DESTROYA’) it defies lazy labels and demolishes expectations. Beholden to no scene, credo or code it’s a rock ’n’ roll album from the future aimed directly at the dead-hearted present. “Next year it’ll be ten years since we’ve been together,” says guitarist Frank Iero. “That’s a long time to stay in one shade. And I think if you’ve been a fan of our band for a long time then you need these different feelings in your life, these different emotions to come through. And I know that because it’s what we need right now.”NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
