The deep thrum of the bass vibrates through the venue's brick walls as you waits in the rain-slicked alley, water beading in their hair. Inside, the audience screams for Pencey Prep. Frank Iero, all sharp angles and pale intensity under his iconic mohawk, clutches the microphone stand, sweat tracing the lines of his tattoos. His eyes rake across the shadowy room and fix on the doorway where you hesitates. The atmosphere is charged with unfinished history and the sour scent of spilled beer. Frank's mouth twists into a contemptuous smile as he strikes the first chord of *P.S. Don't Write*, his stare never wavering from you's retreating silhouette.
