Capital H was my first favorite, so I just had to run & listen to that….but they have so many. I suck at being a fan though & probably don’t know any of their newest albums. I do have a picture of Justin & I in ‘05 though! Ran into him (literally) & he was in a hurry, but still stopped to take a picture because “I can tell you want to ask,” & I definitely did. ?? Dude was so nice.

funny this thread was started, i just saw them in ATL this past week. MCS is so severely underrated, with one of the most consistent discographies in punk/emo. they're so distinctive, from the moogstand to the verbose and descriptive songwriting. i feel like they were firing on all cylinders until thaxton left after go, which is why maybe panic stations feels like they lost a step a bit (but even their worst record is better than many). admittedly, there are times today where i don't do as much active listening of MCS because i burned myself out on them long ago. but they're so fun live, and the records really stand up. commit is the obvious keeper, but IATM is so rewarding and interesting, go is bleak but well-rounded, MDL is banger after banger, and EIIKM an interesting portrait of a band in transition. love MCS!

even their b-sides are phenomenal. how could a band not include back to the beat or throw down on an album? or alcohol eyes or sunny day? it's like mind-blowing

DUDE fuckin agreed!!! i wish MCS got more credits and shit within the genre but unfortunately they're only really known for a small handful of singles. you're so lucky man. i seriously need to see them live at some point.

if you live in the states they’re playing IATM live in full with some great extras toward the end. i wish they’d put out a new record though, but it appears they’ve been recording in chicago which is encouraging. i feel like they’ve gotten stuck in a vicious cycle of farewell/comeback/anniversary tour. if they wait another year it’s a CTTM 20th tour. why make new music?

i know based on justin’s solo work they’ve still got plenty of gas left. would love for MCS to score some sort of strange TikTok hit or some shit to help their career some. maybe the neurotic type of lyricism will speak to the zoomers. idk

yeah i live in the states, but there's no way to get to the location from where i live unfortunately. it sucks major ass. 
once again i agree, i hope they release shit this year instead of waiting. yeah i saw Justin and Josh's posts about recording, so fingers crossed!!!
DUDE that'll be so kickass if it happens with the tiktok idea - but idk though, it all depends if pop punk makes it round about again i think.

Seriously. I saw their farewell tour back in like 2017 and I think they've done 3 or 4 since? They're getting to be like KISS.

Still they put on a hell of a show and I would love a new record (which it sounds like they're working on in fits and starts).

I’ve seen them live twice and got to meet them and I absolutely loved it.

Saw them at the Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh right before the pandemic shut everything down. Justin’s one of my favorite lyricists ever. He even replied to a couple comments and DMs of mine. MCS is legendary.
 

I’m so glad they’re making another album. I heard from r/MotionCitySoundtrack that they have a new song being featured at the end credits of some film called Dìdi, which debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Get hyped kids! New MCS song this Thursday.
