Metro Station is on fire with their new 18 track mixtape release Savior

June 30, 2015

We had a blast interviewing and covering Metro Station as they are on the full run of Vans Warped Tour this summer. They have been nonstop since their reunion and finished up a very successful headlining tour before hitting Warped Tour. In addition, today they have released their 18 track mixtape Savior. 18 tracks to get you pumped and become the playlist for your summer fun. Each song can easily stand on it’s own as singles, infectiously catchy and quite addictive. Some of my favorites are… well, that could be hard to choose because seriously they are all great songs. Liquid Courage, Used by You, Burn With You, Better Than Me, and Runaway have been stand out tracks so far. We recently featured another great song on it, Getting Over You which features Ronnie Radke. If you are looking for a pick me up, or are in a funk and facing challenges, crank up some Metro Station as it will become an instant mood elevator! Head over to iTunes and pick up your copy.
