METRIC does "Morning Becomes Eclectic"

 This Monday, June 8th, we will be appearing on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic"! We love this show and are honoured to be a part of it! Tune in at 11:15am PDT for an on-air performance and interview with Jason Bentley! The whole thing will be broadcast live and streamed from KCRW's website, where it will be available for two weeks.

"Sick Muse" video

Check out our brand new video for "Sick Muse"! When FANTASIES was released, we realized pretty quickly that "Sick Muse" was getting a lot of attention in the UK. In the midst of a heavy schedule of touring and press engagements, we didn't know how we were going to manage to find the time to shoot another video! In the end, it happened spontaneously during a photo shoot with a couple of friends in Toronto. We went into the shoot with nothing but a wardrobe, a white wall and some party supplies, but we pulled it off! We had fun and we hope it shows!
