As the music of today seems to blend in and every song on the radio begins to sound the same, we begin to crave something new. As I listen to the radio whilst I'm meant to be studying, I feel like studying would be more exciting than the monotonous pop hits playing on every station. One bands debut album has caught me by surprise. Metro Station although still fairly 'poppy' has turned synth pop or electro pop into a new genre and their debut album is pushing the boundaries on typical pop music making for a really interesting and fun album.

As a young band of nineteen year olds Metro Station has quite a story to tell. Metro station was born when Mason Musso (vocals and guitar) and Trace Cyrus (vocals and lead guitar) met on the set of their siblings show Hannah Montana, and from that moment on the music seemed to flow. Metro Station's distinct electro keyboard sound comes from Blake Healy who turns the music into a three dimensional experience especially when played loud. The mixed vocals of Trace and Mason provide a strong voice for the very teenage relevant lyrics of the album. Drummer Anthony Improgo finishes off the songs with simple but effective drum beats which give them that extra something.
