Metro Station

Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Metro Station is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of We the Kings, Lydia, The Maine, The Postal Service and Forever the Sickest Kids. Those roots explain a lot about how Metro Station arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Cobra Starship, Hellogoodbye, Millionaires, Hot Chelle Rae and A Rocket to the Moon, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Set Your Goals, Hot Milk, Mayday Parade, New Years Day and Panic! at the Disco, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Metro Station, reaching back through We the Kings and forward to Set Your Goals.
