History


METZ released their eponymous debut album on the Sub Pop label in 2012.[11] The album was named on the 2013 Polaris Music Prize long list.[12] The band performed a "homecoming show" at Lee's Palace in Toronto that year.[13]

On February 17, 2015, the band announced a new album, II, with the release of the album's first track, "Acetate", and an accompanying music video; the album was released May 5, 2015 in North America and the previous day elsewhere.[14] II was a long-listed nominee for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize.[15]

In May 2017, METZ announced their third studio album, Strange Peace, recorded by Steve Albini, which was released on September 22, 2017.[16][17]

Drummer Hayden Menzies has a degree in fine art from Concordia University and designs the artwork for the band.[17]
