Frank Iero has released a video for Young and Doomed, following the announcement that he has signed to UNFD and formed his latest band, Frank Iero and the Future Violents. The track is the first taste of their forthcoming album Barriers, which is due for release on 31st May.
“I never expected to do one solo record in my lifetime,” Iero comments, “let alone three. Every time I start a new record, I say to myself ‘This is it. This is the end. This is the last one.’ It got me thinking about how we set up these obstacles around ourselves. Sometimes they’re for protection and sometimes they’re to keep people out, and sometimes we even set them up so that we fail and we find solace in that failure. But whenever I find something that scares the shit out of me, that’s when I know I have to do it! And so these songs are about experiences that were either walls I wanted to break down or walls that I’d built up around myself in order to protect myself. But these songs were also things that I’d never attempted before but had always wanted to try.”
Directed by Steve Pedulla from Thursday, the video features childhood photos of Frank Iero and The Future Violents, check it out below.
