M.E.

Description

On July 12th, 2019 Sub Pop released Automat, a collection of METZ non-album singles, B-sides, and rarities dating back to 2009, available on LP for the first time, and including the bands long out-of-print early (pre-Sub Pop) recordings. Its a chronological trip through the lesser-known material of METZ, the widely-adored and delightfully noisy 3-piece punk band from Toronto, ON.

The vinyl LP format ofAutomatincluded an exclusive bonus 7 single of METZ interpretations of three diverse cover songs, a glimpse of their wide-ranging and excellent taste. And, on Aug. 20 these three bonus tracks will be available in digital services everywhere. Rejoice! And then also go listen to: a cover of Sparklehorses Pig, from a very limited 2012 Record Store Day split single originally released by Torontos Sonic Boom record shop; Im a Bug, a cover of the Urinals art-punk classic, originally released on YouTube (not an actual record label) in 2014; and METZs previously unreleased rendition of Gary Numans M.E.
