Frank Anthony Iero Jr. was born on October 31, 1981, in Belleville, New Jersey. His early life was marked by frequent health issues, including bouts of bronchitis and ear infections. He developed an interest in music at a young age, with his father, a musician, teaching him to play drums before he transitioned to guitar. Iero began playing in local New Jersey punk bands at age 11, and during his high school years, he fronted the punk band Pencey Prep. This early experience in the New Jersey music scene laid the groundwork for his future career, introducing him to other musicians and fostering his musical development. Pencey Prep released an album, “Heartbreak in Stereo,” on Eyeball Records before disbanding.
Iero’s career trajectory significantly shifted in 2002 when he joined My Chemical Romance as a rhythm guitarist. He contributed to their debut album, “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love,” and remained a core member through their subsequent successful albums, including “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” (2004), “The Black Parade” (2006), and “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys” (2010). Beyond My Chemical Romance, Iero expanded his musical endeavors, fronting the hardcore punk band Leathermouth, which released the album “XO” in 2009. He also participated in tribute bands and worked on various side projects, demonstrating his versatility and consistent engagement with diverse musical styles. After My Chemical Romance disbanded in 2013, Iero embarked on a prolific solo career, initially under the moniker frnkiero andthe cellabration, releasing his debut solo album “Stomachaches” in 2014. He continued to evolve his solo project, changing its name to Frank Iero and the Patience for the 2016 album “Parachutes” and later to Frank Iero and the Future Violents for “Barriers” in 2019. These projects showcased his songwriting and instrumental skills, solidifying his presence as a solo artist. In 2019, My Chemical Romance announced their reunion, and Iero resumed his role as rhythm guitarist, participating in subsequent tours and a new merchandise line.
