Motion City Soundtrack was a Minneapolis-based pop-punk band, founded in 1997. The band was comprised of founding members Justin Pierre (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Joshua Cain (lead guitar, backing vocals), as well as Matthew Taylor (bass guitar, backing vocals), Jesse Johnson (synthesizer, keyboard, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers headbanging]]), and Claudio Rivera (drums). They released six albums: ''I Am the Movie'' (2002), ''Commit This to Memory'' (2005), ''Even if It Kills Me'' (2007), and ''My Dinosaur Life'' (2010), and ''Go'' (2012). Their sixth album, ''Panic Stations'', was released in September of 2015. MCS combines rock music and Moog synthesizers, making for a unique sound. Their songs are also notable for their quirky (and sometimes [[ClusterFBomb pottymouthed]]) lyrics. WordOfGod says that the band can be categorized as Scrabble-rock, because of Pierre's love for big words. The group disbanded in 2016 to spend more time with their families and less time on the road.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Justin, for a long time. From the conception of the band until about 2007, Justin was a massive alcoholic and engaged in behaviors that we very destructive to both himself and the band. Nonetheless, it was tolerated because of his talent as a singer and songwriter. He has since cleaned up his act, though.
