A BAND A DAY WITH NXNE: METZ

“Negative Space” makes our heads hurt. Job well done.

• They don’t just do dark, dingy clubs - here’s a video of METZ basking in the sun at Yonge-Dundas Square during NXNE 2011.
• For when you want your laundry cleaned loudly, METZ take it to New Brunswick and play a Laundromat.

METZ

METZ rocked our face off. Seriously. We have only smooth skin covering where our eyes, nose, and lips used to be. These guys were recently signed to Sub Pop, who will be releasing their first LP this October. They’re demons onstage but are totally friendly. Check out our short chat with them, along with some footage of their Phoenix show. Warning: Hold onto your face.

A BAND A DAY WITH NXNE: METZ

“Soft Whiteout” is less soft, more drum-assault

• Punk-chops with this cover of Sparklehorse’s “Pig”
• “Automat” – because we need more convincing that robots are cool

A BAND A DAY WITH NXNE: METZ

THREE FACTS

• NXNE alumn P.S. I Love You was asked to recommend a band to the world. They pointed straight at METZ.

• Toronto indie punkers Soft Copy said METZ was the loudest thing they’ve seen (or technically heard) since 1992, when they saw My Bloody Valentine. So yeah, bring earplugs.

• Their 2012 Record Store Day release was a cover of Sparklehorse’s “Pig.” Available at Toronto’s Sonic Boom, only 150 copies were up for grabs.
