The US emo-punk band - whose last album ‘The Black Parade’ was released in 2006 - are planning to unveil its follow up in the coming months.
Lead singer Gerard Way said: “On this record you’re gonna get the purest, best version of the band you could ever hope for.
“I think it’s everything people really like about the band, only in a much more direct way. So you’re not getting bits of punk songs gnarled up with Kurt Weill or a Russian folk song, you’re not getting these little bits of what you like about the band dressed up in other clothes. You’re just getting the band doing what it does.”
The 32-year-old singer also revealed the ballad on the album, ‘Light Behind Your Eyes’ is a song about his daughter Bandit Lee, who was born last year.
He told NME: “It wasn’t like I was sitting here writing a record about being a day. But I realised afterwards I was leaving a message for my daughter when she’s 15. This will be me speaking to who my daughter could become.”
The ‘Ready For The Floor’ hitmakers, who are set to release their fourth album ‘One Life Stand’ on February 1, suggested that they may be “in the Somerset area” at the time of the festival.
Singer Alexis Taylor told BBC Newsbeat: “You’ll potentially see us in the Somerset area of the UK around the end of June I’d imagine.
“I have been to that part of the world and enjoyed being there. Nice cider there, good music and good atmosphere.”
This year’s Glastonbury Festival will see it celebrate its 40th birthday, and as such a number of big names have been linked to it.
Festival organiser Emily Eavis has so far confirmed that Irish band U2 will be performing, as will London-born Dizzee Rascal.
It has also been hinted that ‘Your Game’ singer Will Young will perform.
However, US punk rockers Green Day and the Rolling Stones will not be playing.
Tickets to the festival, which takes place from June 23 to 27, have sold out.
The red-head singer, who is well known for singing in a high-pitched tone, said that writing sessions have led her and her bandmate Ben Langmaid in a different direction to their debut LP.
She said: “The vocal style will be different, I’ve changed the way I sing, not on purpose, it’s just happened. Seeing the things I can do with my voice I’ve learnt at a lot more about my voice.”
“The type of music I like now is completely different. I don’t listen to 80s music anymore… obviously I still do, but not the same type of 80s music anymore. I’m into a lot more Italo disco and old funk.
“The influences will be very different for the next record, but obviously there has to be elements of the first record.”
Elly, 21, told BBC Newsbeat that she and Ben were “excited” about their second album.
The ‘I’m Not Alone’ hitmaker - who has recorded songs with Kylie Minogue, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Dizzee Rascal - his tunes sounds good in gay clubs.
He said: “The other day I made some of the gayest –sounding songs I’ve ever made with Kylie and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters. I’d listen to it and think, ‘Wow, this is really gay’ but I don’t know why and maybe it’s just a product of me watching or listening to things informed by being gay, rather than experiencing gay moments in songs.
“I find it odd and strange that an entire way of life can be summed up in a certain form of music, but it kinda can in a way.
“The old euphoric rush has something to do with pop music. I suppose poppy club music gets played a lot in gay clubs.
“I think my music is more gay than it used to be — I use more whooshing noises which, as we all know, induce the euphoric feeling.”
The Scottish 26-year-old also revealed he doesn’t create his songs to please other.
He is quoted by the Sydney Star Observer as saying: “As long as you’re pleasing yourself and doing what you feel passionate about, then I think that shows. I don’t know how but I think it must.”
The former Libertines frontman wants the collection of songs to be a departure from what people know him for.
He said: “It will sound very different because I don’t want to have loud electric guitars.
“I want to do something more wordy. Or at least where the words are more exposed. It’s quite naked-sounding.”
The 31-year-old also discussed his other successful band, Dirty Pretty Things, and revealed he used them to “hide behind”.
He said: “I was trying to have the same spirit as the Libertines without the sparring leadership.
“And once you take that away, you’re dealing with a whole different thing. It was something to hide behind. And I chose to hide behind it because I’m intrinsically quite a lazy person.
“So I’m going to get rid of all of that, and then I’ve got no choice.”
As well as singing, Carl is taking up acting in Sam Shepard’s ‘Fool for Love’ alongside actress Sadie Frost.
He told the Scotsman: “It’s about cycles you can’t break. Like the hold of a relationship coming back after years.”
The ‘Changingman’ singer, who made his name in The Jam in the 1970s and 1980s, got back together with Bruce after both men had bereavements.
Paul told NME.com: “It came about because we had both lost loved ones last year.
“He lost his wife at the early part of the year and I lost my dad, and it opened up a bit of a dialogue, and it seemed like a nice thing to do at the time. In fact it was a wonderful thing.”
Bruce will play the bass on two songs on Paul’s upcoming 10th solo studio album ‘Wake Up The Nation’, which will be released this year.
A collaboration with My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields is also featured on the album.
Last year, Paul revealed he would like to work with both Noel and Liam Gallagher, despite their own personal difficulties.
He said: “I’d definitely be up for collaborating with Liam and with Noel. I love them both equally, and think they’re both extremely talented in their own ways.”
