I was surprised with TBP and I mean that in a good way. With the exception of the almost eponymous track it was flawless and had a lot of technicality to it that music has been missing lately. I hope that his side project is as good the whole of MCR.

Frank dosen't play guitar in Leathermouth, he's the vocalist

I love MCR and Leathermouth, they are two completely different bands though, but I'm getting the CD when it comes out

Sounds like somewhere between the first and second MCR album, only with more yelling, and with a few cool riffs.

I look forward to ignoring my friends while they nitter about how Iero's the best musician ever/Leathermouth's the best band ever/How hot Iero is/MCR vs Leathermouth etcetera, et-****ing-cetera.

It's just hardcore music. Standard Epitaph stuff. Definitely not my kind of stuff though. I'd rather listen to MCR.

seveninsign :
although not really my style, i bet they put on a good live show, judging from what frank does when playing with my chem. i remember him breaking his guitar strap, and then proceeding to swing the guitar around in circles when i saw them. it was pretty intense to see haha. it's a pretty big departure from what my chem is though, and according to another post, he's doing the singing in this band, so he'll probably have more freedom to move around and rock out. might be exciting to see.

I'm not bashing, please don't ban me. I am just saying it's not metal.

pencey wasn't a side project, it was a former band. and a terrible one, at that. definitely my musical guilty pleasure...

leathermouth are more post-hardcore/screamo, i guess. so it just depends on what you're into.

RandomAnoymous :
I must admit, I don't like MCR at all, but Leathermouth is pretty kick-ass, his singing is a little too scream-o and could use some more of a punk element, but over-all I think the CD is worth buying.

if we're talking mcr musically i'm pretty sure you mean ray toro, since he's the lead guitarist. frank only plays relatively simple rhythms most of the time.

Thank you! I was waiting for someone to see the light.
Haha look at mcr tabulature for Iero, its usually all situated on one string and at about 5bpm!

MeltingWaxFace :
Well I don't believe in "bashing" any band, but I think it is unfair to warn people for making an opinion. Then again, an opinion is different then bashing. I hate MCR because I think they have no talent, but thats mainly because of the two annoying Way brothers. I have a feeling this could be good. Oh and that comic is a mega facepalm. Leathermouth hopefully becomes Iero's new band that would be great. Anything to put the Way brothers off the scene would be good.

the guy above me has issues.

anyway, good for frank.
i mean, in an interview he said his influences
were black flag and other hardcore punk bands, which are
different to MCR's style.

nice to know he's making the same kind of music as his
influenced. but this may very well delay MCR's next album...

oh well, good news regardless.
