Metz    

Noise rock band based in Toronto

Based out of Toronto, Canadian noise punk trio METZ formed in 2008, taking equal inspiration from the battered rock trappings of '90s grunge and the noisier side of shoegaze's textural guitars. The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist Alex Edkins, bassist Chris Slorach, and drummer Hayden Menzies.

Founded in 2008, METZ released its eponymous debut album on the Sub Pop label in 2012. The album was named to the 2013 Polaris Music Prize shortlist on July 16, 2013.

On February 17, 2015, the band announced a new album, II, with the release of its first track, "Acetate," and an accompanying music video; the album was released May 5, 2015 in North America and the previous day elsewhere. II was a long-listed nominee for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize.
