Motion City Soundtrack Stand Up Against Ice in Their City

Motion City Soundtrack

Motion City Soundtrack talk with Rolling Stone about ICE taking over their hometown:

Pierre: It becomes really real when it does happen in your city, or in my case at my kid’s school. I was told that ICE agents showed up at the elementary school one day and got out of their vehicles. They didn’t do anything but they were walking around the school with their guns in the air, and then left. All the kids ran to the window and saw that, and they were scared out of their minds. They’re weaponizing children and they’re terrorizing them and traumatizing them.

Cain: It felt real in a different way, like when the pandemic started and you had that deep pit in your stomach. I started seeing friends of mine filming atrocities, like literal crimes on the streets and watched the way the people that are supposed to be in authority show who they are. I mean, not even the military rolls around without name tags on. What the fuck is this? It felt like we were being attacked.

Been on a big Green Day kick over the past couple of weeks. I listened to American Idiot so many times in 2004, and then over the years kind of let that one fade back because I had overplayed it. But, last week it "clicked" again in a big way. Which is funny to say about one of the like seminal albums in the genre.

A little depressing how much the lyrics still hit 22 years later.
