Tip: have you heard some cool music news? Why not add it to the site? anyone can add news to Oversome! |
Photo by Kathryn Yu You can count on Metric lead singer Emily Haines to mix the most emo shit you've seen/heard in your life (see: her quite good and quite hushed solo album, a new "behind the music"-style video about Metric's upcoming album) with some real rock-star panache (see: opening for the Rolling Stones, her gold lamé outfit at last year's All Points West). Haines and her Metric mates are going for more tender-but-tough new wave heights with a new LP, Fantasies.The 10-song album is out April 14 on Last Gang in Canada and Arts&Crafts in Mexico, and will be self-released throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Super fans who pre-order the record starting March 2 at the band's official site will be rewarded with ever-tempting "bonus materials" and an MP3 of first single "Help, I'm Alive," which is also streaming on Metric's MySpace now. "Hard to be soft, tough to be tender," sings Haines on the song; so many contradictions, so little time. Will the Canadian foursome finally capture their borderline-dangerous live energy on record? We'll be listening...and waiting for the inevitable spring/summer tour announcement. read more

Metric occupy a curious place in the modern rock landscape. If they had come up ten years earlier, they certainly would have had a different story. But as they exist now, their legacy will probably be that they were the most successful of the crop of bands that emerged from Toronto in the late-'90s, the…
