Frank Iero

Frank Iero is the kind of musician I quietly champion: the rhythm guitarist who builds the floor everyone else stands on. My Chemical Romance got the headlines, but that wall of sound owes a lot to his relentless drive, and projects like Leathermouth and L.S. Dunes show a restless artist who keeps chasing different rooms to scream in. Born on Halloween in working-class Belleville, with a Rutgers degree tucked behind the chaos, he reads as smarter and more deliberate than the punk image suggests. I admire players who serve the song over the spotlight, and Iero is one of them.
