As previously reported on So Audio, My Chemical Romance have been on hiatus. However, guitarist Frank Lero has put his attentions into his new side project, Leathermouth.

In a message on Leathermouth’s blog, Lero confirmed that their debut album, ‘XO’, will be released on January 26th.

“Damn it feels like its been a lifetime of waiting for this record to see the light of day, but it really is a dream come true,” Lero wrote. “Every step of this journey has been a blast, from the first practice, to touring, and now seeing the artwork come to life.

“I apologise to everyone that has been waiting along with us but fuck man, I’ve been busy …and we really wanted to make sure everything was right and now…finally, I truly feel it’s coming out right.”

Meanwhile, MCR frontman Gerard Way has been busy trying to adapt his comicbook series, “The Umbrella Academy”, onto the big screen.
