“Don’t Call It a Comeback” isn’t just the name of a song off Motion City Soundtrack’s 2003 debut I Am The Movie, it’s also an apt way to summarise the band’s mission statement. During Motion City Soundtrack’s initial run from 1997 – 2016, the Minneapolis-based group released six celebrated albums, toured the world countless times and achieved gold status for their hit single “Everything Is Alright.”
After taking a three year hiatus, the band (vocalist/guitarist Justin Pierre, guitarist Joshua Cain, bassist Matt Taylor, keyboardist Jesse Johnson and drummer Tony Thaxton) started performing live again in 2019, but even the most optimistic fans didn’t necessarily expect a follow-up to 2015’s Panic Stations
“When we started conceptualising the idea for this record, I was thinking about what we loved about doing this originally,” Cain explains.
The result is The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, their latest album that sees the band transmuting the last decade of life experiences into the most catchy songs of their career.
They’re now touring this record, stopping off in Dublin this May!
