Motion City Soundtrack Step Back Into the Spotlight With The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World

When Motion City Soundtrack first appeared at the turn of the millennium, they were the unlikely bridge between Midwest punk energy and geeky lyrical introspection. Fast-forward nearly three decades, and the Minneapolis quintet are back with The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, their first album since 2015’s Panic Stations. For a band that once declared “Don’t Call It a Comeback” on their debut I Am The Movie, the phrase feels especially fitting as they re-emerge with their sharpest set of songs in years.
