Leathermouth sign to Epitaph

Leathermouth, the hardcore side-project of My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero, have signed to Epitaph.

Iero had this to say about the decision to sign with the California label:

"[It] was a real no brainer. I’ve been a fan of the label ever since I was young. They take chances with the artists they work with, and they let their artists be themselves. I have a great deal of respect for Epitaph, and when I decided that I didn’t want to release the Leathermouth record myself there was only one other label that I felt would be right for this project. I feel honored to be accepted into the Epitaph family, it is something that I’ve thought about ever since I was a kid. I hope I don’t fuck it up.”

Look for the band’s debut in 2009.
