Metric
New wave synth and indie rock that outlasts all trends.
Overview
This Toronto-based quartet are bringing their special breed of indie electronica to the Forum for one night only this December. Emily Haines is undoubtedly one of today’s greatest frontwomen, and her tenacity has in no way wavered since Metric's inception in 1998. Five albums and a handful of film scores later, Metric continue to perform to sold out arenas and headline music festivals all over the world.
Metric have mastered the ability to convey contrasting emotions through their music; at times they are outspoken and aggressive, and at others vulnerable and tired from the fight. It is their highly identifiable sound of new wave synth combined with indie rock that unifies their music despite its thematic variation. This uncompromising sound is what has made them stand out and survive while trending genres have rotated around them. See them perform at The Tivoli this Wednesday.
