After releasing their sixth studio album Panic Stations late last year, long-running Minneapolis pop-punks Motion City Soundtrack have announced they're calling it quits.

In a Facebook post, the band revealed they have been thinking about the "past, present and future of Motion City Soundtrack" in their downtime after what was a busy 2015. "All of this thinking has lead to several conversations, and these conversations have lead us to a very bittersweet realization: We have no idea what the future holds, but for now we are done," the post reads.
