Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed what would become Metric in 1998. They left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists & found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, & more. But unlike their peers, Metric stayed independent & refused major label offers, choosing instead to release albums that pushed boundaries on their own terms. “The battle as a band is not just to exist & thrive creatively 20 years in, but to be owning all our own material, to always be bringing our music to a wider audience & standing for something,” says Haines. Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting & fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential & ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable & adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by songwriting & production partners Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw along with bandmates Joshua Winstead & Joules Scott Key is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without ever signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out October 13 via their label Metric Music International & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best & most genre-defying work & closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera.

Excellent show, wonderful staff at the venue, I had a great time! Nice to see a band like Metric in a smaller venue, their brief acoustic interlude was amazing. Got to meet the band, the venue staff was very prompt, professional and welcoming, and made the experience very enjoyable. And the band was lovely, very down-to-Earth and cool to chat with. It was definitely an evening to remember!
Royal Theatre Victoria, BCI attended this marvel, last minute, though, not on a whim. Stars collided around me in a way that brought me to the event alone. But, I wasn’t alone. I was there, on-stage with Emily; our Canadian Rock Royal and Last National Treasure, as she sang and twirled, dizzying me and 18,000 friends into a mystic transcendental haze. I will never forget that night in Toronto.
Budweiser Stage Toronto, ONAmazing show! The band put on a killer set with a nice mix of songs, although I would have loved to hear Youth without Youth, but we can’t have everything. First time at this venue and it was great. I spent the night right next to the mixing board and the songs were very clear. The balcony is not a great view unless you’re right on the rails.
Brooklyn Bowl Nashville Nashville, TNCe fut mon 5e spectacle de Metric à vie et de loin ça a été le meilleur. Emily était en feu, ses comparses aussi et la salle tout autant. Définitivement, ils ont bien raison d'affirmer qu'en raison du contexte actuel, ils jouent chaque spectacle comme si c'était le dernier, car c'était le cas! On veut les revoir à Qc et ou au Québec et rapidement! :)
Le Capitole Québec, QCThis is my second d time seeing Metric. I was enthralled and vibing the entire time. They know how to reach their people and the entire place was filled with peace. They also played a healthy amount of old and new, even letting us pick an old favorite. Thank you for a great show and thank you for sharing a moment of your life with us.
