Metric是来自加拿大多伦多的独立摇滚乐队,由Emily Haines,James Shaw,Josh Winstead,Joules Scott四人组成. 　　女主唱Emily Haines与吉他手James Shaw同时也是加拿大19人乐队Broken Social Scene的成员.在SLSK里意外发现的真实存在的那支地下乐队Metric2005最新的专辑《Live it out》。据说乐队是由多伦多艺术大学学生Emily Haines（女主唱）与拥有茱莉亚音乐学院古典音乐背景的James Shaw所领军的摇滚组合，归类为朋克摇滚。我自然不清楚音乐的具体流派，只觉得非常喜欢。有股年轻女子才有的暴发力，却带着一股执着的天真劲。而声音也出奇的甜美。在清洁里她在舞台上的发型和自在表演更是让我倍增好感。 　　This world-weary and cultured duo honed their individual talents, Emily Haines at a Toronto art college and James Shaw at the Julliard School where he studied classical trumpet before traveling to Toronto. The group's new wave influences and homages became popular in certain important circles. The group, named for its metered approach to musical structures, signed a publishing deal prior to releasing their debut album in September 2001 on Restless Records. Two years later, the group inked a deal with Everloving, formerly Enjoy Records, and issued Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
