View Full Version : Motion City Soundtrack Statement

Below is a statement from Motion City Soundtrack (http://www.absolutepunk.net/motioncitysoundtrack) in regards to what's brewing between them and Silverstein (http://www.myspace.com/silverstein) while on Warped Tour.
Despite our best efforts to keep this a private matter, it has recently been brought to our attention that people have been hearing the rumors about a beef between us and Silverstein... Sooooooo, without going into too many details, we just wanted to set the record straight and come clean...YES, there is a beef between us and Silverstein (and their crew). There is a problem and we're going to deal with it appropriately, trust us. In good time, the truth of this matter will come out and we are sure that you will see who the real victims are... For now, our lawyers have advised us not to go into any details about this. We can however assure you that this isn't your typical, run-of-the-mill beef either... This is a much bigger issue that transcends whether or not someone likes a band's music or not. But we're not going to settle this in the press. This is going to be settled on Warped Tour, and that is that.

Silverstein? C'mon, they arent even on the same scale as Motion City. Not even close. Probably not a good idea to get in a fight with Motion City when your band could use their help.

I'm agreeing with someone earlier in the post. This should be settled with a good ol' fashioned dance-off. If it works for Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, it can work for MCS and Silverstein.

Hey everyone. This is Brian. I used to guitar tech/stage manage for Motion City Soundtrack for the past 2 years. One of the main reasons I had to leave the Warped Tour was over this growing situation with Silverstein. I can't go into any more details until we've spoken to the right people about it, but believe this... it WILL be settled. Hopefully soon we'll be able to shed some more light on the situation.

This is far from over. Billy and Chris, I'm looking at you guys.

yea, in nashville they played right before underoath. so as nofx ended, fat mike said "and now kids, straight from heaven, underoath". and he said it in the shittiest way. but underoath was nothing but nice. during their set, chris said that everyone should go buy nofx merch, and that they were "an amazing band." jeez i love those uo dudes.

they way it was set up was shitty. it was actually inside an amphitheater instead of the parking lot like it usually is. so both bands were onstage at the same time. then some girl passed out so underoath had to pause their set, meanwhile the nofx crowd was chanting for nofx. underoath had nothing but nice shit to say about nofx but as soon as nofx came out they did nothin but talk shit

this year's warped tour is no more volatile than prior years probably. the fact of the matter is that there are more media outlets (MTV taking notice to shit now, endless numbers of web/print zines) for this type of bullshit now than ever before. In the past we all know that there was shittalk against fall out boy by other warped bands and I believe it was a few years back when Lars Frederiksen shit-talked something corporate (I believe it was Lars Frederiksen, memory sucks today!) by saying he is sick of bands that think they are punk yet come out and play a piano while wearing flip-flops. Shit-talk, beef, drama, whatever you call it... you gather that many bands together all at once... you are going to have differing opinions and personalities. However, the fact that lawyers are in this makes this a bit different and possibly a bit more legit. also, NOFX has shittalked so many bands over their warped years it isn't even funny anymore. Congrats to UO for taking the high road.

Something tells me it might just be a publicity stunt and/or a big inside joke on all the warped drama this year.

Silverstein aren't that great but i'd rather listen to them than a handful of other bands, and they are nice dudes, like a year ago, Shane Todd would personally mail anyone who asked him via his email on there site, a burned cd of there old shit. Not that there old shit is any good but it's still a VERY nice gesture, in my opinion. And MCS seem to be some of the nicest guys too.

But who knows? it defiently makes my day more interesting reading about warped tour drama. So I hope they shed some more light on this in the incoming days

when are people going to stop using the word "beef" to describe a feud or something of the sort?

they wont stop until a new trendy word for feud is made up, most likely by the hip hop community again. "anna" is used in place of beef sometimes in ATL, maybe "anna" will be the new buzz word for "beef" soon? also in houston, rappers like to say "plex" for "beef".

even though i'm not big fan of screamo i like silverstein so much better. their sophmore release is so much better than MCS'S sophmore release. even though they're two complete diffrent styles of music. i think this years warped tour is really funny with all the drama thats being leaked out. its like high school for rock bands all over again. i think this fight is stupid even though i'm not a big fan of mcs but people need to learn to get over themselves, just let shit go, have a good time and let this tour be one big summer fiesta. no worries, no problems, no lawsuits, no bullshit. just some F-U-N all summer long

"This is going to be settled on Warped Tour, and that is that." makes it sound like pro-wrestling or something. cage match? dance off?

Hahaha, I know.

I'm not even sure if I fully believe this yet.

My guess is that one of Silverstein's staff broke and/or took something without asking. MCS probably asked them about it and Silverstein defended them. Thus taking it up in court at a later date.

I am probably wrong as hell, but it's my guess.

both of these bands are really good, and devoted to their fans, and both very nice,


however, the nicest guy i met was Chris Knapp i met him on warped 03 and he talked to me for quite a while, even when all his buddies were callin him away, he brushed them off and just talked to me for a while, he was definately the nicest guy ever. even if you hate the ataris. although hes not in the band anymore.

I think Keith Buckley should bitch slap every member of HelloGoodbye then piss on their faces. Hellogoodbye sucks balls! I owuld pay lots of money to see Andy Williams kick their ass too. ETID rules warped this year.

That was stupid.

If I were to walk into my local Blockbuster, and look for Warped Tour 2006, I believe I'd find it in the drama section.

Hey-o! Thank you - I'll be here all night, tip your waitresses on the way out!

well played.

I went to interview tony and josh from motion city soundtrack earlier this summer at Warped the guys were both dicks to me. Very unreceptive. Very douchey. My respect for them went down a little that day.

what exactly was it that made you feel like they were being dicks (besides the unreceptive thing)??

what were you interviewing them for if you don't mind me asking, maybe they were offended by some of your questions???

just some thoughts.

so b/c his hair is like that he is uncool?? Spend 5 minutes talking to him and you will realize he one of the nicest guys in musicIdiot haha, he just said NICE has NOTHING to do with it. He just has one of those annoying looks to him .. like you see him and you dislike him, it's too bad that he's nice but deal with it, jeez.

This seems very unlike MCS to start a fight. I'd say Silverstein started something with them. Maybe Silverstein is just jealous that they don't have a fourth of the talent (or fame) as MCS.Chances are you don't know either of the bands and you're just talking out of your ass because you're an MCS fan. I'm almost 100% sure that Silverstein is much bigger than MCS.

First, MCS is bigger than Silverstein. They were both at flipside and MCS was a headliner, Silverstein was not.
Second, a guy I know played a show with Silverstein a while back and said they were extremely cocky and rude the entire time backstage.
Third, the MCS guys are extremely nice and down to earth.

Music wise...MCS>>>>>>>>>Silverstein. IMO

i don't know what gives you that idea really. the order of the main stages at flipside went silverstine, mae, mcs, sugarcult, reliant k. neither was really a headliner, reliant k and sugarcult headlined (i say those 2 because there was 2 stages).

In all the adds saw Motion City and Reliant K were listed as the headliners.

i wonder why they chose to talk about it here rather than posting it on their site? trying to keep it more low key but still get the word out?
Well this site does have quite an impact on the "scene". I know that nine times out of ten I find out about a bands news on this site. I rarely check bands' websites.

oh okay, fair enough... just saying they were not actually a headliner, unless you define last 4 bands as headliners. they were only 1 band apart from silverstein.

this was found in the motion city merch tent at warped, and at silverstein's they have a similar one saying "motion shitty soundtrack"

its definately just a joke between the two bands, or maybe just their crew. no way would they be that childish if they were serious about this. i find it all pretty damn funny

i heard from a friend of a friend's cousin that silverstein shot a couple of nuclear warheads at mcs, but said they were only testing them. this made mcs very mad and now they are meeting with joan jett to see what actions are to be made.

I believe it was a few years back when Lars Frederiksen shit-talked something corporate (I believe it was Lars Frederiksen, memory sucks today!) by saying he is sick of bands that think they are punk yet come out and play a piano while wearing flip-flops.

I'm pretty sure it was Matt Skiba who said that.
