Tony Thaxton is the drummer for Motion City Soundtrack, the Minneapolis-based rock band that has been crafting inventive pop-punk and emo-influenced music since 1997. As a key member of the group's rhythm section, Thaxton contributes to the band's dynamic sound, which uniquely blends guitar-driven rock with prominent synthesizer work—particularly their signature use of the Moog synthesizer.
Throughout Motion City Soundtrack's career, Thaxton has appeared on seven studio albums, primarily released through independent label Epitaph Records. The band's distinctive approach to electronic integration within a rock framework has made them notable contributors to the alternative music landscape, with their synth-enhanced arrangements setting them apart from their contemporaries in the pop-punk and emo genres.
