Metro Station (band)
Metro Station was an American pop rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California by singer Mason Musso and bassist/guitarist Trace Cyrus. In late 2006, the band signed a recording contract with Columbia Records and RED Ink Records. The band is best known for the commercially successful hit single "Shake It" from the group's self-titled debut album. In 2010, tension between Cyrus and Musso caused the band to go on hiatus. In 2011, the band returned, however, it was announced that Cyrus was no longer a part of the group and Musso had purchased the rights to the name.
In 2014, Cyrus returned to the group and a new drummer, Spencer Steffan, came to the group as well, and a new single entitled "Love & War" was released. In 2015, the band released a second full-length album, titled Savior. After this, the band went on a U.S and European tour, announcing an EP called Bury Me My Love along with a U.S. 10-year anniversary tour. They reunited once again in 2019 and released the single "I Hate Society" in 2020.
In 2005, Mason Musso and Trace Cyrus agreed to meet on the set of Hannah Montana, which starred Mason's brother, Mitchel, and Trace's sister, Miley, and father Billy Ray. Sharing musical interests, they decided to form a band. Shortly thereafter, Cyrus recruited Blake Healy from Synthetic Joy and the Bum Out Eternal as a keyboardist, synthesist, and bassist. Metro Station soon gained the attention of drummer Anthony Improgo, who was added as the band's drummer after the group released the song "Seventeen Forever" on its MySpace Music website. The group's popularity on MySpace Music grew, and the band eventually topped the MySpace Music Unsigned Band's charts. The group self-released their debut EP The Questions We Ask at Night in 2006.
Metro Station was discovered by an intern working for Columbia Records' Walking Eye program, while looking through the MySpace Music charts, and the group was signed shortly thereafter. In the July 2007 issue of music magazine Alternative Press, Metro Station was listed as one of the "22 Best Underground Bands (That Likely Won't Stay Underground for Long)."
The group headed to New York City to record their debut album. The album was produced by S*A*M and Sluggo and the band finished recording the album in July 2007. During the writing of the album, the group cited inspiration from the Postal Service, Forever the Sickest Kids and the Killers. In the summer of 2007, the band went on tour with Valencia and Just Surrender. "Kelsey" was released on August 7, 2007 as the first single from their debut album. The song peaked at number one on the US Dance Singles Sales chart. The song also reached the New Zealand Top 40 chart at number 25. They released their self-titled debut album on September 18, 2007. From October to December 2007, the group joined Motion City Soundtrack on their US headlining tour. The album's second single "Control", was released on December 17, 2007.
On April 1, 2008, the group released the album's third single, "Shake It". The song found commercial success, peaking at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA. The success of the song also affected album sales with the album charting nine months later in 2008, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard 200. The album also topped the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The album went on to sell over 87,000 copies in the US and was certified gold in Canada. The album's fourth and final single "Seventeen Forever", was released on December 13, 2008. The song peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold in the United States.
Metro Station performed at the 2008 Bamboozle festival in April.
