LAST MINUTE TICKET GIVEAWAY: METRIC | Coming to House of Blues Orlando, November 1, 2015

by • October 31, 2015

Every now and then a song you haven’t heard in awhile comes on, and suddenly, as memories are triggered, you’re lost in reminiscent thought, transported in time right back to where you were at the exact moment that song changed your life. But sometimes, it isn’t just one song; maybe it’s a whole album, or even an entire discography.

I can honestly say: Canadian indie rock band, Metric, provided the soundtrack to my coming of age; my most pivotal years of self-discovery. So, when I played their debut studio album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? to get hyped on writing this preview, BOOM, there I was, 20 years old, at college in Gainesville and getting my nose pierced to feel powerful in my own body.

I fell in love to this album and broke up to this album. I took road trips to this album and danced at countless parties and in my living room to this album. There was nothing else like it at that time. Fast, gritty, punk-influenced electric guitar mated with complex melodies and a synthesizer to breed a perfect little indie rock/new wave/synth-pop baby Metric, lead by Emily Haines’ bad-ass and sugar-sweet vocals. They were it for me. There was nothing better. And I still stand by that.

Metric has grown tremendously since then. Their sound has become fuller: more synth, less punk, consistently powerful, nonetheless. And always super fun. The band just put out their sixth album, Pagans in Vegas, and with new albums come tours, so guess what? They’ll be at House of Blues Orlando this Sunday, November 1, and we have free tickets for you! Enter to win, and expect infinite amounts of dancing! Check it out, you might recognize them for this song: 

As fate would have it, I’ll be out of town and missing this show (yes, I’m considering driving back early to get there), so I’ll leave you with my favorite lyrics EVER, written by Metric, because they are BEAUTIFUL and my soul is ACHING over this confliction:

Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost, ‘who put these bodies between us?’ “
