Metro Station (band)

|---|
Usted es un tonto! Metro Station is a band from Hollywood, California, signed to Columbia/Red Ink Records[1] and best known for their top-ten hit "Shake It".
Metro Station was started by Musso and Cyrus in 2007 after their mothers introduced them to each other on the set of Hannah Montana , since Musso's brother, Mitchel, and Cyrus's sister, Miley, are on Hannah Montana. Since they both shared musical interests, they decided to use it in the creation of a band. Shortly thereafter, Cyrus recruited Blake Healy from Synthetic Joy as a keyboardist and synthesizer, while Musso remained the lead vocalist and Cyrus the lead guitarist. The trio together recorded the demo track "Seventeen Forever", which they released on their MySpaceMusic website. The track gained the attention of percussionist Anthony Improgo, who was soon added as the band's drummer. Their popularity on MySpace Music grew, topping the MySpace Music Unsigned Band's charts. An intern in Columbia Records' Walking Eye program discovered the band while looking through the MySpace Music charts, and they were signed shortly thereafter.[2]
In the July 2007 issue of Alternative Press, an indie music magazine, Metro Station was listed as one of the "22 Best Underground Bands (That Likely Won't Stay Underground for Long)".[3]
