Frnkiero And The Cellabration, the new project from former My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero, have announced their debut album. The new record, ‘Stomachaches’, will be released on Hassle Records on August 25th.
Here’s what Frank has to say:
“When I first started writing this record I didn’t actually know I was
writing a record…I kind of just thought I was dying.
In late 2012 I started to experience an increase in my already painful
digestive issues and my creative side started to wither under the weight of
not ever feeling well,” *commented Iero*. “I turned my basement office into
a makeshift studio and every time I felt the pain coming on I’d go
downstairs and hammer out an idea. After a few months I started to take a
look at what I was making, I had for the first time in my life written a
large grip of songs completely alone and without any expectations or plans
of what they would be for. I’ve always been in bands writing songs with
friends in order to play shows or record a future record. But this was
different. These songs, they were all mine. They started inside me as these
wretched stomach-aches and I had to dig them out of me in order to survive.
They were my disease and ultimately became my cure.”
