The new EP from the brilliant Frank Iero & The Patience, formally of My Chemical Romance. This is ace punk-rock 'n' roll with a visceral and dark edge that follows on from the 2016 album Parachutes. “When we were done touring .STOMACHACHES., I talked to my manager, Paul, about what we should do. I had my bucket list and one of the things on there was to work with Steve Albini. Paul asked how long I’d wanted to work with Steve and I was like, ‘Since I was, like, 11!’ I wanted to make a Steve Albini record! Paul said he’d call him and I was like, ‘You can’t do that… that would be weird. Don’t do it.’ And he was like, ‘That’s my job!’ He called him, Steve said he could do it and he had three days. Next phone call I made was U-Haul; I fuckin’ packed the U-Haul up and drove the band to Chicago. I got to record an EP with my friends and one of my heroes in this, like, giant firehouse building in Chicago. The EP is this missing link between .STOMACHACHES. and Parachutes. It’s everything I wanted it to be. It’s fuckin’ awesome!”
