Here I have managed to find a small amount of information about the bands the guys were in before MCR.
Past Bands: Nancy Drew, Raygun Jones.
Past Bands: The Rodneys, Haggis
The Rodneys were a 'punk rock' band formed in 1994 in Kearny, New Jersey.
The band was fronted by Shawn Dillon with George Collazo on bass, Ray Toro on guitar and Matt Pelissier on drums.
The Rodneys were known for a humorous blend of science fiction and toilet humour which gained them a modest local following and the band was a perennial favorite at the famous Newark club, the Pipeline.
An album, "Soccertown, USA," was released in 1998 by Sellout Soon Records. The band, though promising, disolved after internal conflict involving a Snapple Iced Tea whose contents had been replaced with urine.
Past Bands: Pencey Prep, Hybrid, Sector 12, I Am a Graveyard and Give Up The Ghost.
Pencey Prep were a band formed from the ex- members of local punk hero's Sector 12 (Riverside Riot Records) Stick Figure Suicide (Umbilical/Reinforcement Records). Pencey Prep were a rare mix of Punk, Emo, and Indie Rock, the bands line up includes 2 guitars, keyboards, bass, drums, and vocals and has been compared to the band The Anniversary, minus the girl singer.
The band was fronted by Frank Iero on Vocals and Guitar with Shaun Simon on keyboards, John McGuire on bass and vocals, Neil Sabation on guitar and vocals and Tim Hagevik on drums and percussion.
If anybody can find information on Hybrid, Sector 12, I Am A Graveyard, Give Up The Ghost, Haggis, Nancy Drew and Raygun Jones, please send it in!
