If you were in middle school when My Chemical Romance released arguably their best album, you have probably already heard the news. On Wednesday, the band cryptically updated their Facebook icon to a brand new logo and uploaded an instrumental video of "Welcome to the Black Parade," displaying their flag and the date Sept. 23, 2016. And if you were anything like me, you spent the rest of the day as an emotional wreck from the excitement.
Sadly, the band released a statement on Thursday saying there is no tour or planned reunion, just a 10th anniversary edition of the album. Crying face emoji needed. Even though MCR might not be back together, it's never a bad time to relive your high school emo phase. Don't put away your band tees and jelly bracelets just yet! Here's a list of some bands on tour this summer that will take you back to the days when Bamboozle was still a thing.
Vans Warped Tour:
1. Yellowcard
Known for: "Ocean Avenue," "Only One" and "Lights and Sounds"
Since they recently released they are retiring this year, they play mostly throwbacks from the "Ocean Avenue" album. Yes.
2. Sum 41
Known for: "In Too Deep," "Still Waiting" and "With Me"
So much teen angst, so little time. I'm still not sure where they disappeared to after 2011, but they're still just as good.
3. Good Charlotte
Known for: Too many amazing songs
Their reunion was the best part of 2015. In my dad's words, "Finally someone is making real music again!" He's not wrong.
4. Mayday Parade
Known for: "Miserable at Best," "Jersey" and "Terrible Things"
Admit it, "Miserable at Best" was your go-to breakup song. And by breakup, I mean whenever your crush ignored your existence.
5. We The Kings
Known for: "Check Yes Juliet" and "Say You Like Me"
The epitome of "But Dad, I love him!"
Blink 182 Tour:
1. Blink 182
Known for: "I Miss You," "All The Small Things" and "Feeling This"
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" reference gave you the feels.
2. All American Rejects
Known for: "Gives You Hell," "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along"
How to tell your ex how you really feel.
3. All Time Low
Known for: "Remembering Sunday," "Therapy" and "Weightless"
"Dear Maria, count me in."
4. A Day To Remember
Known for: "If It Means A Lot To You," "Have Faith In Me" and "All I Want"
You could tell who your real friends were when the duet came on.
Brand New and Modest Mouse Tour:
1. Brand New
Known for: "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot," "Jesus Christ" and "Seventy Times 7"
Did you really have an emo phase if you didn't like Brand New? Probably not.
Even if MCR never reunites, here's to looking forward to the anniversary album!
