Metro Station Announce New London Date

London, UK. (Top40 Charts/ SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) - Following the sold out tour with 'Boys Like Girls' and the growing popularity of debut single 'Shake It', Metro Station return to the UK with a surprise headline gig on the 22nd March.

Embraced by millions of fans online in the U.S., Metro Station are set to repeat their success in the UK. Currently climbing the UK airplay charts and building an impressive online following the facts speak for themselves.

A total of 44 million plays across 4 tracks on MySpace and 30 million plays across 3 videos on YouTube (including 20 million views of Shake It alone) this is a band born out of social networking sites. Their Bebo page has 30k page views and 11k fans, which is a great start considering their album will not be released in-stores until the 30th of March.

Fronted by Trace Cyrus, brother of teen sensation Miley Cyrus, Metro Station were signed to Red Ink after an intern discovered them on Myspace. Warped Tour veterans Motion City Soundtrack produced two tracks, 'Kelsey' and 'Comin' Around' off their debut album, and the band worked on the remaining tracks with well known producers Sam Hollander and Dave Katz (Gym Class Heroes, Boys Like Girls).

Metro Station will release their first single 'Shake It' on March 23 the day after their London show with their full album following only a week later.
