The Company We Keep (Ft. members of Motion City Soundtrack, TREOS) announced their formation a few weeks ago, but additional details have been sparse. Brian Southall from the band recently did an interview to discuss the band’s formation among other things. Read the full interview here and a snippet of it below by clicking “Read More.”

Musically, are we to expect a bizarre mix of the atmospheric pop of Motion City Soundtrack with the playfulness of Brian’s recent output? Perhaps some ambient aspects?
Musically i hope it can bridge the gap between what music was in the 90′s and what is has to be now to keep the attention of a culture always moving to the next thing.  its a rock band for sure, but you will hear many elements that will obviously remind you of any of our previous bands.

How did the band line-up, as recently announced, form? 
Justin and I began working on songs i had while i was touring and working for his band MCS.  we began a search for a singer, and after many amazing people took the time to audition, we finally found Amy right at the last minute before we began tracking material.  I had always wanted to work with Branden, knowing he is an incredible talented drummer, so there wasnt much of a question for me of who to ask.
