context_page_description: Metro Station is an American pop rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California by singer Mason Musso and bassist/guitarist Trace Cyrus. In late 2006, the band signed a recording contract with Columbia Records and RED Ink Records. The band is best known for the top 10 Billboard hit single "Shake It" from the group's self-titled debut album. In 2010, tension between Cyrus and Musso caused the band to go on hiatus. In 2011, the band returned, however, it was announced that Cyrus was no longer a part of the group and Musso had purchased the rights to the name. An EP entitled Middle of the Night was released in 2013, which was led by the single "Every Time I Touch You". In 2014, Cyrus and a new drummer, Spencer Steffan, came to the band, and a new single entitled "Love & War" was released. In 2015, the band released a second full-length album titled Savior. After this, the band went on a U.S and European tour, announcing an EP called Bury Me My Love along with a U.S. 10-year anniversary tour. Just before the tour started, the band announced it would be their final tour and stated they were breaking up.
context_section_description: The band released its self-titled debut album in September 2007. The album initially spawned two singles, "Kelsey" and "Control". Neither single saw a great deal of success, although "Kelsey" performed decently in the New Zealand market, peaking at No. 25. In March 2008, after the release of the single "Shake It", the band received a significant amount of commercial exposure, with the song peaking at No. 10 in the Billboard Hot 100. The success of the song also affected album sales, the album charting nine months later in 2008 at No. 39 in the Billboard 200, No. 1 in the Top Electronic Albums and No. 2 in the Top Heatseekers.
  In 2009 Metro Station toured in the Believers Never Die Tour Part Deux with Hey Monday, All Time Low, Cobra Starship and Fall Out Boy.
