Biography

If you want to hear that MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK is made up of ex-members of some formerly famous groups, forget it. Unless the names of their high school bands mean anything to you, who they are and where they came from will ring no familiar tones, until now. "My childhood was basically spent riding ramps and listening to Run DMC & the Beastie Boys,” explains Justin Pierre, lead singer & lyricist for MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK. "Then there was radio for a short while, I quickly realized that wasn't going to help me find great bands. I knew that I had to go to shows and read articles in magazines which were outside of the mainstream. So I did, and found artists like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbox, Superchunk, The Flaming Lips, and Mercury Rev." After high school, Justin hooked up with guitarist Josh Cain and resigned from their mercenary efforts in various local bands to unite, not unlike the Wonder Twins, to become a musical conduit for a greater force of rock.

yea their music is different to other bands i've noticed. What i mean is like if you heard a new song by them on the radio you could tell straight away that it was MCS. thats what happened to me with everything is alright	gerardspunkette
