"Interstate 8" is the second out-of-print EP by indie rock band Modest Mouse, released on Up Records in 1996. It contains the band's original demo, "Live in Sunburst Montana", which was recorded in Isaac Brock's garage in Issaquah, Washington.

All but one of the studio songs not included in earlier Modest Mouse albums were included on the "Building Nothing Out of Something" rarities compilation released in 1999. This song, "Edit the Sad Parts" is joined by "Buttons to Push the Buttons" as the only songs not available in some form on another Modest Mouse release, though both appeared again later on the label compilations "US" (released by Up & Slabco Records) and "Zum Audio, vol.2" (released by Zum Audio).
