MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Trace Cyrus

Fans who were bummed when Metro Station's original members broke up will be pumped to welcome the return of Trace Cyrus and his new project, Ashland HIGH. Cyrus has taken the production reins, writing all the lyrics and singing all of the songs himself. Ashland HIGH's debut album, Geronimo, was recorded at Cyrus' home studio in November and he released it as a free download for fans on New Year's Eve. We didn't know New Year's also came with presents!

The first video and single from Geronimo is "Jealous Lover." According to Cyrus, it's about how "it is so easy to fight and be jealous when you should just be happy and in love." Trace practices what he preaches in the video, where he and his love interest are seen traipsing happily around Venice Beach -– dancing at a party, shopping, hanging out at the beach. It's all so sunny! Well, until the fighting sets in. "So take a little cue from a jealous lover, what's not yours is mine/So go and take a hint from a jealous lover, there's no compromise," he sings. "I'm playing to win, playing to win." It ends rather tragically (ain't that the way with love songs?).

Moral of the story -– take it from Cyrus: "Just be happy and in love."

When I first heard Good Charlotte's Benji Madden was set to box against former MTV VJ Riki Rachtman, my first thought was, "HUH?" followed by "WTF??" Followed, finally, by "AWESOME." Benji and Riki fought last Friday in Las Vegas, and Benji Madden knocked out the "Headbangers Ball" figurehead in 1 minute and 40 seconds. In other words, Rachtman got served!

If Benji's itching to get back in the ring anytime soon, I can think of plenty of people I'd love to see him go toe-to-toe with, including the following potential human punching bags. More Madden boxing buddies after the jump!

Trace Cyrus: Now that Metro Station is no longer together, Trace has plenty of time to hit the jump and bulk up. Hell, who am I kidding? This guy weighs 90 pounds soaking wet. A fight between him and Madden wouldn't be a civil match -- it'd be an emo bloodbath.

Almost Alice, the collection of songs inspired by Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, has been a big topic around the Buzzworthy campfire for a while now. Why? Because it features so many of our favorite bands, like Tokio Hotel, All-American Rejects and All Time Low.

We've already heard from Metro Station's Mason Musso and Trace Cyrus about their song, "Where's My Angel," and we've checked out the moody, atmospheric video for Avril Lavigne's "Alice." Now, it's time to hear from the boys in Motion City Soundtrack about their album contribution, "Always Running Out Of Time."

In this interview with the folks over at Seventeen.com, frontman Justin Pierre and his bandmates talk about how the song came about, their affection for the work of Tim Burton and the song's speedy recording process.

Check out the interview below. Motion City Soundtrack's My Dinosaur Life is currently available, as is Almost Alice, which came out today, March 2.
