"nothing is held back and raw unfettered emotion is of an absolute premium" - Rock Sound
"Deliberately disordered and yet so evidently crafter with total precision, Barriers doesn't so much live up to its title as it does completely go against and destroy everything that very word symbolises. It's brilliant" - Kerrang!
"More accomplished, more confident" - DIY Magazine

FRANK IERO AND THE FUTURE VIOLENTS have released a brand new cellar session recorded with One on One at City Winery. The audio for the session was mixed by none other than Frank's former bandmate Ray Toro. This marks the first collaboration between the two since My Chemical Romance's dissolution in 2013. "I really enjoyed doing this session at the winery and when they asked if we had anyone in mind to mix the tracks I immediately thought of asking Ray Toro", Frank said about working with Toro once again. "He’s just so multi-talented and has such a great ear. He’s been recording and mixing some rad projects these past few years, and it was an honour to have him work on this session for us"
Watch the One on One Session below.
The band is also celebrating major Billboard chart success for their formidable new album Barriers, which was released on May 31st via UNFD. Barriers debuted at #5 on their New Artist/Heatseekers chart, #8 on the Hard Rock chart, #18 on the Independent Labels chart, and at #56 on the Top Current 200 chart.
His third album Barriers is a rumination of sorts on life and living and the obstacles (a.k.a. “barriers”) that get in the way. Recorded and mixed by Steve Albini, Barriers is 14 songs that not only tackle the existential journey of his heart and mind, but help him redirect his musical path.
Frank Iero and the Future Violents is Frank Iero, Evan Nestor, Matt Armstrong, Tucker Rule and Kayleigh Goldsworthy. Barriers was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini and is out now via UNFD.
