Hey everyone,
Sending out a massive thank you for making METRIC a winner at this year's Casby's! Awards like these, selected by you, are the ones that really matter. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for our fans, so THANK YOU!
Hello! We have been working on a new METRIC social networking community called FRONTROW which we quietly launched a few weeks ago in the Community section on our website. FRONTROW is taking the place of the old METRIC Forum (which will nevertheless remain active) and is a place where you can...
This is all new to us, so your feedback would be very much appreciated. So far FRONTROW has mainly been used by the METRIC form members, but we've been working out some of the kinks and we think it's just about ready for you to give it a try and let us know what you think.
Feel free to ask any questions and we'll answer them as best and as fast as we can. It's THE place where you will receive direct communication from the band, so make it your source for the latest information!

Until November 27th, 2009 “Plug In Plug Out” will be exclusively available on Amazon in the US, the UK, France and Germany.
Of course, as soon as the Amazon exclusive ends, “Plug In Plug Out” will be made available around the world (excluding Canada) directly from www.ilovemetric.com, as well as on iTunes and other fine online retailers.
Unfortunately (and we’re REALLY, REALLY SORRY about this), due to the contract with our former Canadian label, we will not be able to offer the EP for sale in Canada until 2010... Obviously, we know this totally sucks, we love Canada and hate that this is the case, but we promise to make the EP available in Canada as soon as humanly possible!
If it’s any consolation, we’ve made it so that the best comes to those who wait! In our ongoing efforts to offer you more for less when you go through us, anyone who buys “Plug In Plug Out” directly from www.ilovemetric.com will also receive additional bonus tracks absolutely free, plus you will receive premium, DRM-free, 320kbps MP3 or FLAC lossless audio files providing you with the best sound quality available by download.
Track listing:
"Gimme Sympathy"
"Gold Guns Girls"
"Help I'm Alive"
"Satellite Mind"
"Twilight Galaxy"
In the meantime, here's a brand new remix of "Help I'm Alive" by 80Kidz which you can download for free:
This Tuesday, October 27, METRIC will be releasing PLUG IN PLUG OUT on Amazon.com. After 30 days, the EP will also be available on iTunes, directly from the band on ilovemetric.com, and other fine digital retailers.
Check out some acoustic videos that we've been saving for you, along with a preview of the EP, which features acoustic versions from our latest album FANTASIES below!
There's a whole new online world out there and METRIC is happy to be a a part of it. That's right, METRIC is heading into the 3-Dimensional virtual world to join 40 million other users (who knew?) internationally! We've joined forces with IMVU, where members can customize their avatars and rooms with official 3D METRIC merch, meet other METRIC fans from around the world, and get their virtual dance on with music from METRIC's latest album FANTASIES.
IMVU has also created a customized animated meet + greet environment, and METRIC will be there on October 25th to hang out with you! Stay tuned for more information!
The Casby Awards are fast-approaching! METRIC has been nominated for Favourite New Album, Favourite New Single (For two songs!), and NXNE Favourite New Indie Release.
CASBY stands for Canadian Artists Selected By You. Vote for us here, and you will be automatically entered to win tickets to see us perform at the KoolHaus in Toronto on October 22nd.
