A leading band in the punk-pop genre, Motion City Soundtrack includes guitarist Joshua Cain, drummer Tony Thaxton, lead singer & guitarist Justin Pierre, Jesse Johnson on the moog (moog synthesizers are electronic musical instruments that throw together a guitar, keyboard, and a drum set all in one...still confused...look it up), and bassist Matthew Taylor. After their Minneapolis high school graduation in 1999, Pierre and Cain formed their band. While touring through Pennsylvania, Motion City Soundtrack met Thaxton and Taylor from their own band, Submerge. The two decided to leave their hometown, Richmond, Virginia, to join Motion City Soundtrack and the group later grabbed Jesse Johnson. The band's punk-splattered debut, I Am The Movie, was released in the summer of 2003. They joined blink-182 on a tour in Europe and Japan and blink's bassist, Mark Hoppus, loved the band and produced a more pop influenced album, Commit This to Memory, in 2005. Motion City Soundtrack spent that summer on Warped Tour. Two years later, the completed product, Even If It Kills Me, was released and cracked the Top 20 on its first week. "Fell in Love Without You" was featured on Gossip Girl that same year. Their latest album was released last June.
