Here's a solid little Canadian indie rock outfit for you all to feast your ears on. A few very accessible tracks have made the rounds - Poster of a Girl, Dead Disco and Monster Hospital.

I'm loving this band. And I'm loving their frontwoman, the oh-so-hip Emily Haines. She's our generation's Debbie Harry.

While nothing special on CD, Metric are a lot of fun live.

queer for that

I dislike their latest output but "dead disco" live was really, really great.

I just got back in from walking my dog, and Poster Of A Girl was the last song playing on my iPod when I came inside.\

"Help I'm Alive" is definitely an excellent track too.
