Motion City Soundtrack

Saturday’s NYC-area shows include Sigur Ros, These Arms Are Snakes, Brian Fallon, Motion City Soundtrack, PNB Rock, Flasher, and more.

Joyce Manor's first album in four years is a mix of shelved old songs, inspired new songs, and an OMD cover, and its title '40 oz. to Fresno' was derived from an auto-corrected text about Sublime. This is about as Joyce Manor-y as it gets.

Recorded with producer Ed Rose (The Appleseed Cast, The Casket Lottery, etc), I Am the Movie was released on Epitaph in 2003 and it birthed the band's breakthrough single, "The Future Freaks Me Out."

Joyce Manor had originally planned to take a small break from music, but instead wrote this new album, produced by Rob Schnapf and featuring 9 songs in 17 minutes, and you can hear the under-two-minutes, back-to-basics lead single now...

Plus: Gully Boys, Plague Years / Somnuri, Ted Leo / Marissa Paternoster, Bright Eyes, Full of Hell, Lee Fields, Bad Bunny and more tour and festival news.

”We took every precaution that we could before, during, and even as we have been stuck in a holding pattern in sunny Chicago since this tour (almost) got started about a week ago,” the band said.

Plus: Weird Al, Amyl & the Sniffers, Thursday, Reverend Horton Heat, This Ain't No Picnic lineup, and more tour and festival news.

Listen to new songs by 40 Watt Sun, Anais Mitchell, jennylee, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Grumpster, MFnMelo & squeakPIVOT (ft. Pivot Gang), Born Without Bones (Motion City Soundtrack cover), Girl Ray (Sophie Ellis Bextor cover), Gustaf (Beck remix), and more...
