The release of their first single comes just days after posting their Superheros-featured, horror-infused movie-trailer style video, 'Art Is the Weapon.' Featuring splices of 'Na Na Na,' the video is no stranger to motorcyle jackets, cartoon masks and red-infused hair (as sported on Gerard) -- even featuring a cameo by Comics writer Grant Morrison, who's dressed as a Voldemort look-alike.
By the looks of their new single and its paired video teaser, MCR are opting for a effervescent, light-hearted sound compared to their heavier-themed efforts. And that is a sound Way is particularly fond of: "It's the punk-rock 'Hey Ya,'" he recently told Rolling Stone. "It sounds like a big gang of children yelling. It's dumb as f---, really."
The Rob Cavallo-produced 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' follows 2006's concept-heavy album 'The Black Parade.'
MCR will be embarking on their World Contamination Tour in Europe next month, kicking off in Edinburgh on Oct. 25. To hear their new single, head over to AOL Radio's New Alternative First station.
