My Chemical Romance have suggested that their upcoming alum shows the influence of US proto-punk from the late 1960s.

Singer Gerard Way told Rolling Stone that new track 'Trans Am' pushed the group to become "an American rock band instead of a British rock band" in their sound.

Way said: "[I wanted to] harness everything that's great about this band into shorter songs. Almost proto-punk, like The Stooges or the MC5."

Of new song 'Death Before Disco', he added: "I can't wait for people to hear it. To me, it's the greatest song we've ever written - it's my favourite MCR song."

Way previously revealed that the follow-up to 2006's The Black Parade has no overall concept.
