Armed with a fourth studio album due for release in early 2010, Motion City Soundtrack will return to Australia for their third visit playing Soundwave in February and the band couldn't be any more excited!

"super super excited to come play Soundwave, you know to be able to play for everyone again and to tour with the bands that are gonna be on that tour," says Matt.

"We’re going to be sharing the stage with bands that influenced us so much when we’re younger. Yeah we’re really excited to come back".

Bringing with them will be a new soundscape that shapes the band's soon to be released fourth studio album.

The album also carries with it a common theme - a strong reference to movies or TV shows incuding Veronica Mars and the song, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and not to mention the title track of the album 'My Dinosaur Life'.

"That was something that Justin had come up with," Matt says. "He says that he heard it in a movie, think he misquoted it which I believe someone said ‘My Dragon Life’, he thought it was ‘My Dinosaur Life’. It was actually a good thing, we didn’t end up actually stealing the lines from the movies. He has an explanation for the title but it’s kind of his thing."

"He basically lives and breathes his movies, so I would assume every little reference is some sort of homage or reference to a movie that affected him in some way or another."

So what are fans really going to expect from their Soundwave performance? "That’s a good question. I have not thought that through! (laugh)"

"We would be playing songs and probably sweating (laugh). I don’t know, I’m really really excited to come back. The last time we played Soundwave was so fun. So I’m excited to play some new songs for everybody over there."

The band head back to Australia in February 2010 for the national Soundwave festival before releasing their album in Autumn.
