Last week, the band posted this statement about their hiatus:
It has been a quiet winter for us. We’ve had some time at home after a very busy 2015. With this time, we've been able to think about the past, present, and future of Motion City Soundtrack. All of this thinking has lead to several conversations, and these conversations have lead us to a very bittersweet realization: We have no idea what the future holds, but for now we are done."
Motion City Soundtrack formed in 1997 and released studio albums through last year's Panic Stations. If you need a refresher, look no further than the gallery below.
