Sometimes I forget that these guys aren&#8217;t super well known because of how large they loom in my memories of middle school. I &#8220;discovered&#8221; them in 6th grade when they opened for Panic at the Disco (OmG like Ryan Ross, plz DO me XD) and more or less kicked ass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Over the past 8 years I&#8217;ve followed MCS at a distance, tuning into new albums a couple months after they&#8217;re released and vaguely giving a shit when their lead singer went to rehab. I recently went to a free concert they played at a famous record store in Minneapolis, but now that I think about it, that happened four years ago. Time flies when you&#8217;re not listening to pop-punk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At any rate, Motion City Soundtrack is probably my favorite band to listen to when I&#8217;m tryna\u00a0to rock out to some quirky songs\u00a0about how hard it is to be a 20-something year old with hella feelings. Also great if you&#8217;re from the Twin Cities and like hearing references to actual bars near your house (s\/o to the 612 [even though I&#8217;m from Hopkins]).\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The Future Freaks Me Out,&#8221; is a perfect introduction to Motion City Soundtrack because it&#8217;s just\u00a0lighthearted enough to keep you from labeling the band as &#8220;emo&#8221; from the get-go. \u00a0Whether it&#8217;s an old standby or a new throwback, I suggest you blast it at full volume.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did anyone else listen to Motion City Soundtrack during their angsty years as much as I did?
