Motion City Soundtrack

Even if you’re not into pop-punk music or the Warped Tour scene of bands in any way, shape or form, I can promise you know at least one Motion City Soundtrack song. At least. The Minneapolis-bred fivesome just might write the most infectiously catchy rock songs in the history of ever. The best part about these shows is that at some point during the two-day span of them is that, whatever song it is that has permanently wormed its way into your subconscious, you’ll hear it here. As part of the buildup to the release of their fifth full-length album the band has decided to dedicate two nights of shows to their four previous albums, meaning that both nights will offer different setlists to please fans from any era of Motion City history. For those who are well versed in all things Motion City, listening to the band’s older material never fails to bring back all those growing up memories from when you first heard it. But, y’know, in that awesome nostalgic way, not that, “God what was I thinking listening to that?” kind of way. - Brien Overly
