Metric Music International

Metric is an indie rock/new wave band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With their unique blend of energetic and melodic sound, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Formed in [year], the band consists of members Emily Haines (vocals), James Shaw (guitar), Joshua Winstead (bass), and Joules Scott-Key (drums). Known for their catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, Metric has become a staple in the alternative music scene. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?" and "Fantasies." Whether performing on stage or recording in the studio, Metric continues to push boundaries and inspire fans with their innovative approach to music.

The vinyl artwork for Metric’s new album, Formentera, includes a motto that sums up the past few years: This Is What Happened. It’s an understatement that manages to say everything. Even real places become imaginary when they are so far out of reach. Named for an idyllic island near Ibiza off the coast of Spain, Formentera is a place that, for Metric, only existed on a page in a “dream destinations” travel book that lay open on a desk in the new recording studio that guitarist Jimmy Shaw built in 2020, in a rural hamlet north of Toronto. This is the setting where the band’s eighth album took shape. Metric’s sound is both genre-defying and genre-defining. Emily Haines, Jimmy Shaw, bassist Joshua Winstead and drummer Joules Scott Key started playing together in NYC in 2001. They are just getting started.
