New York City, United States (1998 – present)
The band consists of vocalist and keyboardist Emily Haines, guitarist James Shaw, bassist Josh Winstead, and drummer Joules Scott-Key. Their debut album, Grow Up and Blow Away, was recorded in 2001, but the official release was delayed for years by their record label. As the years passed, the band’s sound changed to the point where they no longer felt the album would be what the fans expected to hear, so Metric recorded a completely new album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, that was released in 2003. Their third album, Live It Out, was originally released in 2005, but followed by a Drowned in Sound UK release in 2006. Last Gang Records later purchased the rights to their delayed album, Grow Up and Blow Away, did minor changes to the tracklist and released it on June 26, 2007.
Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, and Haines has been a guest on albums by Stars, K.C. Accidental, Delerium, The Stills, and Jason Collett. Scott-Key and Winstead have their own side project, bang lime, and Haines has released a solo album under the name Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton.
Metric is also featured on the Cannes-awarded (Best Actress) film “Clean”, playing themselves.
