Motion City Soundtracks drops infectious new single ‘You Know Who The F*ck We Are’

Amid a weekend that saw Patrick Stump fill in on vocals for the band Motion City Soundtrack are keeping it going dropping an insanely great new song ‘You Know Who The F*ck We Are‘. Proving that age isn’t slowing this band down, this is the latest song from the bands upcoming album ‘The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World’, out Sept. 19th.

To record the album, the band reunited with Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Plain White T’s) at the legendary Chicago studio Electrical Audio. With features from Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump (who also co-wrote the song “Particle Physics”), Citizen’s Mat Kerekesand Deanna Belos of Sincere Engineer, the album sees the band reclaiming their crown as one of punk rock’s most accessible — and infectious — acts. However, the most impressive aspect of The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World is the fact that instead of relying solely on nostalgia, Motion City Soundtrack continues to experiment outside their comfort zone. “It’s a very interesting thing to feel like we made the most important record of our career this late in the game,” Johnson explains.

“I think that if you look at a lot of our past records, it’s about ‘What’s wrong? What am I not getting right? Why do I feel fucking crazy? Why can’t I figure this out, and I figured it out,” Pierre admits. “It’s almost like I felt I didn’t have an identity [in the past] and now by working through the hard stuff, I know who I am.” With that sense of self-discovery mirrored by the music, when the final track fades out it may be the conclusion of the album, but in reality, it’s just the beginning of another chapter of Motion City Soundtrack’s journey.
