"Who: Los Angeles&amp;apos; Metro Station, a sugarcoated emo quartet led by the older siblings of two Disney stars &amp;#x2014; including one who&amp;apos;s currently topping the charts.\n\nSounds Like: Led by singer/guitarist Trace Cyrus (yes, Miley&amp;apos;s old brother), Metro Station bridge the gap between Fall Out Boy&amp;apos;s emo pop and High School Musical, especially on tracks liked their million-selling synthed-out single &amp;quot;Shake It.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;We never thought this one would succeed,&amp;quot; Cyrus says. &amp;quot;At first we just had the chorus. Our manager told us, &amp;apos;You need to write verses for this!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\n\nVital Stats:                                             &amp;#x2022; The band formed after Cyrus met singer/guitarist Mason Musso on the set of Hannah Montana (Musso&amp;apos;s little brother Mitchel is an actor on Miley&amp;apos;s show). After discovering they had a similar taste in music, they began recording demos that they posted on MySpace, where they picked up a following.\n\n&amp;#x2022; Metro Station aren&amp;apos;t just for the kids, as they sometimes draw the geriatric crowd. &amp;quot;At a show in Boston, there was an old lady holding her cane up in the air,&amp;quot; Cyrus says. &amp;quot;It was hilarious.&amp;quot;\n\n&amp;#x2022; Despite their Hollywood roots, both Cyrus and Musso worked crappy mall jobs before they (or at least their siblings) hit it big. Cyrus sold sneakers, while Musso&amp;apos;s expertise was soft pretzels.\n\nHear It Now: Metro Station&amp;apos;s self-titled debut album is out now, and &amp;quot;Shake It&amp;quot; is soundtracking commercials for DeGrassi: The Next Generation.
