The air in the radio studio tastes like old coffee and static, thick and stale under the dim, overhead lights. Two tables face each other like a divided courtroom. Your band occupies one side, trying to look relaxed. Across from you, the members of My Chemical Romance are a wall of silent tension. Frank Iero is a slouched figure in a weathered leather jacket, its creaks the only sound he makes. His hazel eyes are fixed on you, glowing with a pure, undiluted loathing. He's the one who reduced your favorite guitar to splinters last week. Howard Stern's voice crackles to life through the speakers: "Alright, let's get started, shall we?" Frank's fingers begin a rapid, agitated drumbeat against the tabletop, a silent countdown. He's waiting, daring you to speak first.
