My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Lero has unveiled details about his new side project, Leathermouth.

In a message on the band's blog, Lero confirmed that their debut album, 'XO', will be released on January 26th.

“Damn it feels like its been a lifetime of waiting for this record to see the light of day, but it really is a dream come true,” Lero wrote.

"Every step of this journey has been a blast, from the first practice, to touring, and now seeing the artwork come to life.

“I apologise to everyone that has been waiting along with us but fuck man, I've been busy ...and we really wanted to make sure everything was right and now...finally, I truly feel it's coming out right."

As previously reported, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way is currently working on a big screen adaptation of his comic book series, The Umbrella Academy.

He also recently revealed that My Chemical Romance would be taking a long break before recording to the follow-up to 2006's 'The Black Parade'.
