Following the massive success of their platinum-selling album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, New Jersey’s dark darlings, My Chemical Romance, are set to release a CD/DVD combo early next year.
Titled Life On The Murder Scene, the package shows the band’s transformation from a bunch of unknown, unappreciated chubby kids to the angsty teen idols they are today. Packed with videos, live performances and a documentary that serves as a complete biography, the DVD is also the key to exclusive online content. The CD half contains some of their rarer demos and tracks that most fans haven’t heard, but Reprise (the band’s label) told MTV News that the whole bundle isn’t quite finished.

The hardest-working band in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance, are going to to release CD/DVD set entitled "Life On The Murder Scene" sometime early next year.
According to MCR's label Reprise, the whole package isn't finished just yet, but it's been already unveiled that the CD portion will feature rare tracks and demos, while the DVD is going to be packed with videos, live performances, online content and an exclusive video diary that tells My Chemical Romance's story from the very beginning.

Of course, "the day" refers to its early 2003 tour -- before MCR upgraded from Eyeball Records to the major label Reprise Records, before its sophomore CD, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, sold gold and before vocalist Gerard Way stopped speaking to his former BFF, the Used singer Bert McCracken. In fact, My Chemical Romance v.2.0 is bigger, badder, and more emo and goth (although less intoxicated) than its former self. But catch its first headlining
It's been a big year for My Chemical Romance. The New Jersey emo band's second album, last year's "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge," finally drew the notice of mainstream music magazines like Rolling Stone.
My Chemical Romance also scored a gig opening for Green Day and headlined this summer's incarnation of the Warped Tour. Now, with a third album due in November, the band is headlining on its own, with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect.
The tour stops Sunday, Oct. 16 at the Connecticut Expo Center, 265 Rev. Moody Overpass, Hartford. Tickets are $19.99 for the 7 p.m. show.

Satisfying the youthful taste for trends, the Connecticut Expo Center in Hartford entertained hundreds of vigorous scenesters by hosting three bands: Reggie and the Full Effect, Alkaline Trio and My Chemical Romance. Current times call for energetic and emotional soundtracks reminiscent of the 1980s underground punk scene. The three bands that entertained the audience Sunday delivered what the masses asked for.
Kicking off the night with Reggie and the Full Effect set a nervous tone for the audience in regards to the caliber of the following acts. Reggie's set list consisted of song after song of indistinguishable noise, giving the illusion
