Interview with Matthew Taylor
"Every album from Motion City Soundtrack is awesome, they all show a perfect progression from the record before, and this can at times be a hard task to accomplish for bands. Their brand new record 'GO' has now been released, and it has already received a great response from both fans and critics! So..let's find out all about it!" How did you come to the decision to sign back with your long-time label Epitaph? It felt right. We always felt at home there. Brett (Gurewitz, President) has always felt like our cool older brother and Epitaph has always felt like his cool apartment where we could hang out and be ourselves. After our 1st contract with Epitaph was completed, we signed a deal with Columbia and rather than hold a grudge or be upset with us, Brett offered us a home back at Epitaph at any point in the future. That meant a lot to us, so we chose to go back.
My Dinosaur Life displayed a more experimental sound than the records preceding it, can we expect this to carry forward on 'Go'? That's hard to say. I think you can always expect new sounds from us. We never want to go back into the studio and make the same record as the last. As technology continues to change and as new connections are made, we'll always acquire new sounds and talented people to help us push things a little further.
