On The Murder Scene: My Chemical Romance ‘03 - ’08

Between 2003 and 2008, My Chemical Romance transformed from a scrappy New Jersey rock band into a cultural juggernaut, laying the foundation for one of the most enduring musical acts of the last 25 years.

And Justin Borucki captured it all. 

From early, messy hometown shows to the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden; from glossy promos on the back of the triple-platinum album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge to the backstages of venues around the country; from the living rooms and bedrooms of their childhood homes to the recording studios where they’d make timeless music, Borucki captured lightning in a bottle in the way only his photographs can. At times, chaotic and energetic, as if you’re there watching the band with the crowd. Sweaty, noisy, and raw. Other times: careful, composed, allowing us to really see the people behind the music. 

For the first time, Justin’s work with My Chemical Romance is finally being collected into a single volume. Lost In Cult is proud to present On The Murder Scene: My Chemical Romance ‘03 - ’08. Pour over Justin’s beautiful work and see his growth as a photographer, the band’s growth from hometown heroes to alternative legends, and the people and places behind the emo movement of the mid-2000s.
