My Chemical Romance Break Up

My Chemical Romance

It looks as if rock and roll has lost another great band. My Chemical Romance called it quits today by releasing a statement on their website.

"Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.
My Chemical Romance"

Through 4 great studio albums and 12 years of music, My Chemical Romance has been one of the most influential bands for alternative rock. Their concept albums gave listeners not only music but stories as well. It's tragic that it ended so soon. 

Artists Hurt From Digital Music

Digital Music News

It’s no secret that the music industry is struggling partially due to the economy and partially due to the rise in digital music. With iTunes and Youtube, there really isn’t a desire for consumers to go into a music retailer such as FYE. Not purchasing music and just downloading it or streaming it online hurts the artists. To prove a point, some artists are taking it into their own hands to show fans how it effects them.
