Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance released four new solo songs on his Soundcloud page.
“I just wanted to start uploading some unreleased stuff. Just so people can check it out and have something to listen to,” said the frontman. The songs are called “Welcome to the Hotel,” “Success!,” “Crate Amp” and “Phoning It In.”
Way expressed that some of these songs were intended to be released as singles, like “Phoning It In.”
“I may still do that at some point when I finish them, but I figured why not. It feels good to share. Who knows if some of this stuff would have ever come out?”
The singer has called this piece Distraction Or Despair. He believes these four tracks “are tied to an ‘album’ of that name.” Way directed his followers to the new songs along with a link to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

My Chemical Romance was one of the many bands affected by the coronavirus pandemic, as they had to make the decision to postpone their tour. “We felt this was the right decision for our fans, our band, our crew, and our families given the current global situation.”
