Metz Release 'Dirty Shirt' And 'Leave Me Out' Digital Single On December 4th 2012
On December 4, Sub Pop will release the digital single for "Dirty Shirt" + "Leave Me Out" by Toronto's Metz. These songs were previously only available as a limited-edition 7" single, and "Dirty Shirt" can now be streamed online via Pitchfork. Additionally, Pitchfork TV will broadcast a live streaming concert you can view (from your desk, during your lunch, etc.) on December 19 (at 12:30pm ET) featuring sets from METZ and label mate King Tuff. This video piece gives a glimpse of both the figurative a-side of this single and METZ live in Toronto at the record release show for their 2012, self-titled debut album
METZ will wrap up their 2012 tour schedule with a show on December 19 in Brooklyn, NY at the Music Hall of Williamsburg with King Tuff. Then in early 2013, the band will kick off a massive European tour, which begins on January 25 in Athens, GR at Six D.O.G.S. Cultural Center and currently ends on March 12 in Brussels, BE at Muziekodroom. Please find a full list of tour dates below.
"The Toronto noise-punk trio METZ, on the other hand, were wild-eyed and brutally focused. Playing maelstroms more than songs, they're like a less unhinged Jesus Lizard, full of coiled ferocity that engulfs you, releases you briefly, then swallows you up again. This year's Sub Pop debut only hints at their live intensity." ["CMJ's Most Talented 10"] - SPIN.com
"They're pretty much a burst of musical brutality. And seeing them last night at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn was more than an affirmation of that. A trio from Toronto, they'll sit nicely next to your Melvins and Nirvana and maybe even Wire. In other words, their edge is more than attitude and volume and speed."
