Standard

gerardThere’s a lot going on with ex-My Chemical Romance members, and now Gerard Way has confirmed his debut solo album Hesitant Alien will be released on September 30th. Mark it on your calendars!

“I wanted to make the small things sound big,” he explains. “My intention was to make 100 percent uncompromised art, using the currently least radio-friendly instrument, the guitar. I knew there would be lots of fuzz pedals. I knew I would play Fender instruments.

I want the record to sonically galvanize people.”

The tracklist is Bureau / Action Cat / No Shows / Casting Shadows / Millions / Zero Zero / Juarez / Drugstore Perfume / Get The Gang Together / How’s It Going To Be / Maya The Psychic

He will be making his live debut at Reading & Leeds  Festivals next month,  and we caught him at a signing earlier this month. You can view our full photo set here. Hurrah!
