Editor's note

Metro Station, the late 2000s pop-rock spark

A Los Angeles band built around Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso, best known for the 2008 hit "Shake It."

If you want the Metro Station sound, start with "Shake It" and "Control." That's the upbeat, guitar-driven pop they built their name on.

Metro Station landed right in the middle of that late-2000s pop-rock moment, and "Shake It" was the song that stuck. It gave them a foothold, and tracks like "Control" and "California" kept the energy up. They stayed in that lane even as things changed around them.

They formed in L.A. around 2006, put out the "Kelsey" EP, and signed with Columbia. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2008, followed by albums like "Savior" in 2011 and "Gold" in 2015. The band kept working through some public friction and lineup shifts.

Archive material and source history

Metro Station formed in Los Angeles around 2006, with Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso at the center. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2008, anchored by the single "Shake It," which became their biggest hit. That track, along with others like "Control" and "California," gave them a foothold in the pop-rock scene of the late 2000s.

Trace Cyrus, whose father is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, handled vocals and guitar, while Mason Musso played drums. They put out an EP called "Kelsey" in 2007 before signing with Columbia Records. After their debut, they released more music, including the albums "Savior" in 2011 and "Gold" in 2015.

The band's run included some public friction, with a former member filing a lawsuit and Trace Cyrus's personal life drawing media attention. They kept working, though, putting out songs like "Getting Over You" with Ronnie Radke and "Japanese Girl." Their sound stayed in that upbeat, guitar-driven pop lane, even as the music landscape shifted around them.
