On September 4th Frank Iero’s new project, FrnkIero andthe Cellabration released their second video from their debut album, ‘Stomachaches’. The song is ‘Joyriding’, and we love it.
Featuring the entire band in sharp white shirt and trouser ensembles, the simplistic but well shot video from Ghost + Cow (also responsible for the first video ‘Weighted‘ from ‘Stomachaches’). It Soon descends into something a little more sinister, but we won’t ruin it for you, check it out here:
Iero says of the video “This is a video I had seen in my head for a long time,” commented Iero. “I honestly thought it was going to be easier to pull off than it was. When you imagine it, you think, ‘oh, this doesn’t sound that difficult…,’ but when you begin to fully realize what needs to happen, in what specific order things need to happen, and what can get ruined and stained in the process… the task becomes a bit daunting. We ended up building a room in my backyard, shooting the video, and then tearing the room down in a span of 17 hours. The very next day we shot the video for ‘Weighted.’”
One of the most anticipated albums of 2014, the former MCR guitarist and back vocalist’s new venture is a deeply personal album born of health issues, pain, introspection, yearning for love, and drawing power from what you can discover about yourself.
“These songs came from deep inside me and became my salvation at a certain point. and up until this August I will have kept the majority of them a secret from everyone,” Iero said in his official announcement statement. “They were just mine, and now I am ready to give them up to all of you. I hope that you may enjoy them.”
