Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance appears to be a part of a new project, which has new music on the way.
A cryptic post, made by label Gauzy Records, teases a new project titled ‘I Want To Know Your Name’, which is by a group called The Mock-Ups. The My Chemical Romance frontman has been included in the credits for the new project, alongside members of The Interrupters.
Way appears to be providing vocals and bass, with Aimee, Kevin and Jesse from The Interrupters on backing vocals, keys and production, and drums, respectively. Michael Schulz has been credited with guitar, and engineering is handled by Doug McKean, according to the post.
It is not yet clear what this new project will be, and if this roster of artists making music together will become a permanent new band. The post contains what appears to be lyrics to a possible new track, and all that was revealed is that ‘I Wanna Know Your Name’ is “coming soon”.
In other Gerard Way-related news, the My Chemical Romance frontman has been accused of morphing into a “demon”. One TikTok user shared a video claiming Way “morph[ed] into a demon mid-performance at his concert” at a show in New Jersey in August.
In the clip, the user says: “This is what he looked like. Yes, this is that same man complete[ly] morphing into a demon – a reptilian – if you will. This is what he morphed into and we see this a lot with these celebrities [and] these musicians on stage.”
The user then went on to critique rock music. They said: “So, if you are listening to this and you – you know, you should probably stay away from things like this because when people start to morph into demons, that means that they are being inspired by demons, if not an actual demon.”
Following the post, he was roundly mocked by some MCR fans in the comments section, while another declared: “MCR being accused of being demons. We are so fucking back.”
Elsewhere, MCR fans recently reacted to the rush to get tickets for their two huge forthcoming shows at Wembley Stadium on July 10 and 11 in 2026.
My Chemical Romance last performed in the UK as part of their reunion tour in 2022, with dates taking place in Milton Keynes, Cornwall, Dublin, Warrington, Cardiff and Glasgow.
