Thanks to my friends, Frank & Anna (and the good people at Albertsons & Coca Cola), I was able to attend one of the most exciting concerts of the year at the Wiltern!

Although we arrived 30 minutes late and missed most of Metro Station’s set (sorry guys!), it was one of the most incredible experiences watching the show lineup.

I’d love to sit here and brag about how awesome all 4 bands were, but I will let you check it out for yourself!

Sit back and enjoy, Motion City Soundtrack + Mae + Anberlin + Metro Station!

If you are not doing anything tonight, join me at Wiltern Threatre for:

Concert review coming soon.

Motion City Soundtrack has always been one of my favorite bands. I’ve been waiting for their new album… and the wait is over!

I picked up their third full-length, Even If It Kills Me at Best Buys on Tuesday. From the start, album just took off. Some of their songs reminded me of their first album I am the Movie (which is a great thing), but you can hear the maturity mainly due to clear-headed Justin Pierre (who recently overcame some drug and alcohol problems).

The wait was well worth it and it’s definitely one of those albums which you can listen to from start to finish. Check it out! You can listen to their full album here.

3 seconds to ignition…
Motion City soundtrack.

Their sound is reminiscent of the catchy pop punk bands of the late 90’s with American Hi-Fi, New Found Glory, SR-71, and Sum 41; except they’ve got something else. A sentiment of maturity splash through the music, lyrically, vocally, and sonically. The combination of pop, punk, dance and rock is always infectious and Motion City Soundtrack certainly captures that well. They’ve been on the Vans Warped Tour. Their second album was helmed by former Blink 182 member and current +44 member, Mark Hoppus. Their current album, released on September 18th, is the natural and sequential step in the evolution of this band, with producers Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys), Rick Ocasek (The Cars) all on board molding the music on the album.

So everyone aboard…the train to Motion City is departing. Better have your iPod ready with your soundtrack.
