MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE'S SHORT SONGS

My Chemical Romance are writing ''shorter songs'' for their forthcoming LP and say they sound like an ''American'' band.

My Chemical Romance are inspired by The Stooges.

The 'Teenagers' rockers are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 2006's 'Black Parade' LP and say they are trying to take their music in a completely different direction.

Frontman Gerard Way told Rolling Stone magazine: "We wanted ti harness everything that's great about this band into shorter songs. Almost protopunk, like the Stooges or the MC5.

"We want to be an American rock band instead of a British rock band."

One of Gerard's favourite songs in the new album is entitled 'Death Before Disco' and he is excited about hearing fans' response to it.

He said: "I can't wait for people to hear it. To me, it's the greatest song we've ever written — it's my favourite My Chemical Romance song."
