After releasing one of 2006’s most solid efforts, The Black Parade, how does My Chemical Romance plan to follow it up?  Well, according to singer Gerard Way, the band will return to a punk rock sound.  When asked about a new song the New Jersey rockers have been playing live, Way told NME.com, “We haven’t told anybody the title yet because I noticed that if you change the title later, kids get pissed off.  So it’s just called ’New Song’ right now.  It’s one of those songs that just spills out of you, and you’re very inspired.  It’s nice because it’s a return to punk rock music.  It feels like a rock song.”  This would be a definite change from Parade since it was very theatrical.  Way said, “I think (the next album) will definitely be stripped down.  I think the band misses being a rock band.  That doesn’t mean we won’t explore really crazy ideas on the next albums, or do something even crazier.  It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll start to take steps backwards creatively.”

My Chemical Romance plans to return to the studio soon to record this new album.  A release date has not been announced.
