Metz Interview

Fri, 10 May 2013 11:39:23 -0500

Greg Kot sat down with Metz and learned a little about their history, style, and most importantly, their energy. How and why are they so energetic, he asked…

“It has to do with the songs we write; they require a certain energy for them to sound right,” Edkins says. “You kind of blank out when you’re up there, and when you wake up you’re covered in sweat and the equipment’s broken. And then you walk off. It’s an unconscious thing. You turn it on and go for it.”

Check out the interview in its entirety right here. Then, make plans to join us on Sunday and see just how energetic these guys are. Tickets.
