Two gongs at this year's NME awards only confirmed that New Jersey four-piece MCR remain one of the biggest bands in rock. They shot into the consciousness of many with the global success of 2006's Black Parade and its singles Teenagers, Welcome To The Black Parade and Famous Last Words.
Last year's follow-up Danger Days was said to be stripped down from Black Parade's grandeur, but still offers generous helpings of punk blast and rock anthems to satisfy both new ears and that ever dedicated fanbase.
The New Jersey rockers combine elements of the past to create something truly unique.
