Metro station

If you haven’t listened to Metro Station before, now is the time to start! Members include Mason Muss (vocals/guitar), Trace Cyrus (guitar/vocals), Blake Healy (synth/beats/bass), and Anthony Improgo (drums). Amidst the excitement of their CD release (in stores now!), I recently had the chance to catch up with the band.

Metro Station formed when the guys met in L.A. a few years back. Growing up in different places, they were all fairly new to L.A. upon first meeting. Says Blake, “A metro station is a place where paths meet, and our band is where our paths met.” That's how Metro Station was adopted as the official band name.

A perfect blend of rock, pop, and electronica, the band’s sound can be placed under the category of pop punk with synthesizers. With catchy melodies, Metro Station’s music will make you want to get up and dance. According to the guys, Blink-182 has had a major influence on their songwriting. Other bands that have had a significant influence on their sound include the Postal Service, New Order, Depeche Mode, Yaz, and the Faint.

Metro Station is currently wrapping up a tour with Valencia, Just Surrender, and We the Kings. And they’re not wasting any time before jumping into the next one! Shortly after wrapping up this tour, Metro Station will hit the road again — this time with Motion City Soundtrack, Mae, and Anberlin.
