My Chemical Romance might have just come to the end of a US tour taking in their biggest dates yet but frontman Gerard Way isn’t the type to put his feet up and bask in the glory. Instead, he’s throwing himself into a new project during MCR downtime – the band’s next batch of dates on the “Long Live” The Black Parade stadium tour, where the emo titans have been playing their era-defining classic in its entirety, aren’t until early 2026.
But your Gerard fix is coming sooner than that, with Gauzy Records teasing a new single on their Instagram page. The song is titled I Wanna Know Your Name from a project called The Mock-Ups, the new group’s line-up featuring Way on vocals and bass alongside a trio of members from the US ska-punk band The Interrupters, with lead vocalist Aimee Allen aka Aimee Interrupter on backing vocals, Kevin Bivona on guitars and Jesse Bivona on drums. The line-up is completed by guitarist Michael Schultz, with Doug McKean credited as engineer. No release date has been announced, with the label writing that it’s “Coming soon” in the caption on Instagram.
