Frank Iero has announced he’s officially changed his band name to Frank Iero And The Patience – and they’ll release the album Parachutes on October 28.
Originally named Frank Iero And The Cellabration, the former My Chemical Romance guitarist announced he’d tour Australia under the new banner back in June. The outfit have also issued track I’m A Mess from the forthcoming record. Listen to it below.
He says of the name change: “When I first started this journey I brought a band along that filled in the gaps of what I lacked. I was uncomfortable in my position so I brought a celebration or a ‘Cellabration’ to distract from my awkwardness.
“Now in my life I need to learn how to slow down and love where I am. I need the patience to appreciate the now.”
He adds: “Recording was the most heartbreaking yet uplifting, depleting yet inspiring experience I have ever had. I found out things about myself and the songs I was writing that changed me forever. I am so proud of this record.”
Parachutes can be pre-ordered on vinyl and via iTunes. The artwork and tracklist can be viewed below.
Iero has a number of tour dates scheduled in Europe, Australia and the US over the coming months. He’ll perform twice at Chicago’s Riot Fest next week – with his electronic noise project Death Spells on September 17 and with The Patience on September 18.
