{"title":"Motion City Soundtrack","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Motion City Soundtrack\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotion City Soundtrack formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1997 around Justin Pierre and Joshua Cain. They are widely cited as one of the foundational acts of the mid-2000s pop punk and emo scenes alongside contemporaries like Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and the Wonder Years. Their distinctive use of Moog synthesizer in their pop punk arrangements (via Jesse Johnson's contributions) became a defining stylistic element. Their 2005 album Commit This to Memory (produced by Mark Hoppus of Blink-182) was a commercial breakthrough. They went on indefinite hiatus in 2016 and reunited in 2020 for ongoing touring activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotion City Soundtrack's sound combines pop punk, indie rock, emo, alternative rock, power pop, and synth-pop with Pierre's distinctive vocal delivery, the band's signature Moog synthesizer-driven arrangements, and lyrical content addressing relationships, anxiety, depression, and personal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am the Movie (2003, Epitaph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommit This to Memory (2005, Epitaph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven If It Kills Me (2007, Epitaph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Dinosaur Life (2010, Columbia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo (2012, Epitaph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanic Stations (2015, Epitaph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpitaph Records and Columbia pressings of the Motion City Soundtrack catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Motion City Soundtrack typically start with Commit This to Memory (2005). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/punk-new-wave-vinyl-records\"\u003ePunk \u0026amp; New Wave\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"motion-city-soundtrack-commit-this-to-memory-vinyl","title":"Commit this to Memory LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeed your inner Warped Tour nerd- Commit This To Memory is back in print!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540778594487,"sku":"210000066409","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/motion.jpg?v=1781154236"},{"product_id":"motion-city-soundtrack-the-same-old-wasted-wonderful-world-vinyl","title":"The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a ten-year absence that left a palpable void in the hearts of millennial emo kids, MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK are finally back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540789899447,"sku":"210000100052","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/wonder.webp?v=1781154273"},{"product_id":"motion-city-soundtrack-same-old-wasted-wonderful-world-orange-vinyl","title":"Same Old Wasted Wonderful World LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe album features their signature Moog-heavy, catchy sound but with a newfound maturity and clarity, reflecting a decade of life experiences and personal growth for frontman Justin Pierre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540804513975,"sku":"210000099569","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/418467297822.webp?v=1781154329"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.waxtraxrecords.com\/collections\/motion-city-soundtrack.oembed","provider":"Wax Trax Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
