the interview show: Metric

You have to respect Canada’s resident indie superstars. This band has taken a lot of risks over it’s career. Metric could be on a major label easily by now. But instead, they decided to finance the new record, Fantasies, themselves.

While making the record, the guys traveled to a lot of studios, Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle, to name a few, searching for the perfect sound. I talk with Jimmy Shaw (left in the picture) about all this, and the Broken Social Scene brotherhood.

Metric “Monster Hospital” (MSTRKRFT remix)

Metric “Help I’m Alive” (Twelves remix)

Metric are in Australia right now. They are going to make a triumphant return to Canada in October. Let’s go out and see Canada’s reigning indie superstars! Don’t sleep on this one. Several dates are already sold out.

See you at the last stop on the tour!

    I actually saw them in concert the first week of September, they were doing o-week tours.
    They’re even better live, bringing new sounds to the crowd. Amazing band.
