Although My Chemical Romance split in 2013, there was no way Frank Iero, the band’s rhythm guitarist, was going to slow down. He was already involved in other projects when MCR’s schedule allowed, and he’s since tinkered with industrial experiments with Death Spells, started exploring other artistic forms on his website, and embarked almost reluctantly on a solo career with Frnkiero And The Cellabration. The first album he put out under this name, Stomachaches, was composed on his own, mixing the pop/rock undertones his fans are used to and an almost folk songwriting to deliver a record that is at once straightforward and full of paradoxes.
We met a jovial and loquacious Frank before his concert at the Longlive Festival in Lyon to talk about this new project. Pleasantly surprised by the turn of events since the release of Stomachaches, the man doesn’t hide his enthusiasms or his doubts, and comes across as a tireless and humble artist who tries to fight against his own limits and do what he likes. We talked about all this in the following interview.
