10 years ago, Frank Iero was on the front-line of the Black Parade, leading the so-called emo revolution out of the alt-club nights and into the arenas, guitars and eyeliner in hand. As guitarist and backing vocalist in My Chemical Romance, Iero was a part of the major dynamic shift in both what a major-selling contemporary rock band could look like, but also sound like. Fast forward to present day, and Iero is still forging ahead as the leader of frnkiero andthe cellabration; a band that is hard on your spell-checker, but easy on the ear. With a brief window of time in his promo trail in the lead-up to an in-store appearance at Sydney's Utopia Records, Iero talked through growing up as a wide-eyed Jersey punk, elevating to arena status and the little old lady that almost ended it all.

frnkiero andthe cellabration's debut album, Stomachaches, is available in Australia via Cooking Vinyl.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
