In a recent exclusive with SPIN magazine, Motion City Soundtrack published a new music video for their song, A Lifeless Ordinary. The track comes off the band’s latest album, A Dinosaur Life, which was released back in January on Columbia Records. The video apparently took only one take, and includes a “gaggle” of dancers all at the edge of a drained pool. See what I’m talking about by watching the video yourself here.

Motion City Soundtrack is currently out on tour. Check out dates and locations at their Dying Scene Shows page.

In a recent tweet, East Coast hardcore band Converge announced that they will begin working on material for a new album. There’s not much more information than that, but you can be sure that here at Dying Scene we will not sleep until any and all updates have been passed on to our beloved readers.

Straight from the horses mouth here’s what the band had to say, “This week we commence writing a new album together at God City, get ready world…”

Converge’s latest work was their self-released 7″ EP, On My Shield, which came out this past summer.

Canadian punk rock record label, Whens Lunch Records, have announced the signing of Australians Backyard Surgeons.  The label’s first course of action will be to give the band’s EP, “Totally Numb”, a digital world-wide release.

We recently covered the band in an interview as well as having had the band in our spotlight in early October.

SPIN has unveiled the music video to Motion City Soundtrack’s “A Lifeless Ordinary” from the band’s major label debut, “My Dinosaur Life”. Front man Justin Pierre had this to say about the video:

“I wanted it to have the coolness and stupidness of Weezer, the absurdity of the Flaming Lips, and the nonchalance of Pavement, like, ‘We really don’t give a sh*t. It combines all these things that I like, all these little nuggets of ridiculousness.”
