By Leave a Comment

Motion City Soundtrack are heading back into the studio to produce their Columbia Records debut with Mark Hoppus (Blink 182). Hoppus first teamed up with the band when he produced their hit record Commit This to Memory ““ which has gone on to sell more than 300,000 copies since its summer 2005 release.

“We were excited to work with Mark again because we had such great fun and great results last time. And he begged. It was a little pathetic.” ““ Tony Thaxton/MCS drummer

The band has also launched a new website that will have new webisodes up every two weeks.
