New “Acoustic” Metric EP (10/27)

Metric- Coachella 08

Beginning on October 27th, a brand-new Metric acoustic EP will be available exclusively on Amazon.com for one month (wider distribution to follow). The EP, titled “Plug In Plug Out,” features never-before-heard acoustic recordings of “Gold Guns Girls,” “Satellite Mind” and “Twilight Galaxy”, among others.

Metric’s latest album Fantasies was self-released to critical acclaim. The band saw significant success with debut single “Help I’m Alive,” which officially cracked the Top 20 Alternative charts on US commercial radio- an historical feat for a band operating without a record label. The single got an organic start after it was accidentally leaked online, picked up by The Hype Machine blog and then put on air by Seattle’s KNDD last February.

In continued support of Fantasies, Metric will play shows in select North American cities this fall. Tour dates for Metric can be found below.
