Unlike most teens who get annoyed of their younger sisters, Metro Station's Trace Cyrus says he's happy to share the road with his sister Miley for their upcoming tour together.

"I couldn't be more excited," said Trace in an interview with Billboard.com. "Honestly, I've been away from home for so long I haven't really gotten to see my family for the past two years. I'm gone on the road more than my dad(Billy Ray Cyrus), more than my sister. So the fact I'm gonna get to spend that much time with my family and my band, I couldn't be in a happier position. It's my dream come true; I'm gonna have everyone I love out on the road with me. It's gonna be great."

Although there are perks to touring together, should Cyrus be worried about the different fan bases coming together?

"(Miley) definitely has some younger kids that come to her shows that wouldn't come to our shows," he said, "but we're making music for all listeners. We're definitely gonna try to be child-friendly on that tour. We're gonna try to make it our audience as much as we can. I feel like our music can definitely speak to those kids."

Also, Metro Station is planning on recording a second album soon and says he has "well over 20 tracks" penned already. They'll hit the studio after the tour in December.


"We've definitely matured," he says, referring to the new material he's written. "I would just say it's Metro Station, a little more electronic and a little more mature, but the same big pop songs that could be played on the radio."

The group is not yet sure who will produce the album, however they would "definitely love to experiment with some new producers, too. We're just trying to make sure the second record's gonna be perfect."
