METZ
2008–present·Toronto, ON
Toronto three-piece, Sub Pop flagship for post-2012 noise rock. Loud, tight, hook-driven, tours relentlessly, keeps putting out records that beat up your speakers. Alex Edkins writes riffs that sound like they're being played through a trash compactor. Five albums deep and still delivering.
