Soon after My Chemical Romance released their album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, Bryar replaced Matt Pelissier as the band’s drummer.
He subsequently worked on the band’s music, playing drums for the 2006 album The Black Parade and contributing to the 2010 album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
However, for those who may not know, Bryar left My Chemical Romance before the release of Danger Days. After parting ways with the band, Bryar began working with other acts and eventually transitioned into the real estate business.
