Track Listing:

Motion City Soundtrack is an American rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 1997. The band consists of founding members Justin Pierre (lead vocals and guitar) and Joshua Cain (lead guitar and backing vocals), along with keyboardist and moog synthesist Jesse Johnson, bassist and backing vocalist Matthew Taylor, and drummer, percussionist and backing vocalist Tony Thaxton. Motion City Soundtrack has released four studio albums and sold almost 600,000 records throughout their career, including over half a million in the United States alone.

Motion City Soundtrack's first release was a 7" single, "Promenade/Carolina", in 1999. The following year they released their debut EP, Kids for America, and then a second, Back to the Beat. They released their debut album I Am the Movie twice, in 2002. Their first five releases were all self-released with the aid of a small record label. Backed up by their constant touring it fashioned them a fast growing fan base, and a signing with Epitaph Records. After spending their first five years finding the right lineup, the Epitaph re-issue of I Am the Movie in 2003 was the band's big break. First major single "The Future Freaks Me Out" arrived with live and television success, but failed in radio airplay and the charts. 2003 and 2004 brought three Split EPs alongside Schatzi, Limbeck and Matchbook Romance. The second album, Commit This to Memory, has been their most successful album to date, selling 285,000+ records and peaking at number two on the Independent Albums chart. It featured the single, "Everything Is Alright", which also found success on the likes of MTV, but also fell short in radio airplay and the charts.

The band released their third full-length album Even if It Kills Me in 2007. The album debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Independent Albums chart. It produced singles "Broken Heart", "This Is for Real" and "It Had to Be You", which all received television airplay. Motion City Soundtrack released a fourth album entitled My Dinosaur Life in January 2010, which debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200. It is their first album released on Columbia, a major record label. Motion City Soundtrack's fifth studio album, Go, will be released June 12, 2012 in a joint effort between Epitaph records and the band's own label, The Boombox Generation.

My Dinosaur Life

In June 2008, Joshua Cain and Justin Pierre announced several times throughout a podcast with Alternative Press that they would be moving from Epitaph to Columbia Records, a subsidiary to major label Sony BMG. This was confirmed whilst the band was on Warped Tour in August 2008, with Cain also saying that they would be writing a new album from October to December, before recording. Motion City Soundtrack's major label debut with Columbia was produced by Blink-182 member Mark Hoppus. Hoppus worked with the band on their second album, Commit This to Memory, of which Hoppus said, "I think that 'Memory' is a really great record... For me, it encapsulates what Motion City Soundtrack is and can do. Now they want to make a record that's along those lines but pushes it even further." He said the album incorporates a heavier, more experimental side of the group. "There's an edge on this record that I'm really excited about getting into," he said. "But it still has all the catchiness of everything that I personally love about Motion City Soundtrack. As a fan, it's really exciting to get to work with them again and help them flesh out this new vision of themselves." Motion City Soundtrack played the first two shows of the blink-182 tour in Las Vegas on July 23 and 24.

The band completed the recording of their upcoming fourth studio album on June 28, 2009. Whilst on tour with Blink-182, Motion City Soundtrack did an interview for MTV with Mark Hoppus, in which it was revealed that the band's fourth album will be titled My Dinosaur Life.

In October 2009, the band released the first song from their upcoming album, "Disappear", as a free download on their website; the music video for "Disappear" was released November 19, 2009. The band played a special show in Minneapolis on October 30, then toured briefly with Weezer in early December. The band played a three-night engagement at Lincoln Hall in Chicago from December 18–20, playing one of their three albums beginning-to-end each night. My Dinosaur Life was released worldwide January 19, 2010 to even stronger reviews than their previous album.

Motion City Soundtrack played at Reading and Leeds festivals in 2010 on the Main Stage. The band travelled to Brazil for the first time ever in 2011.
