Metric is a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto, formed in 1998 by vocalist Emily Haines and guitarist Jimmy Shaw, later joined by bassist Joshua Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. Over ten studio albums - from the cult debut Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? (2003) through the platinum-selling Fantasies (2009) and Synthetica (2012) - the band built a devoted following while running their own label, Metric Music International, and resisting major-label deals. Multiple Juno Award winners, they are also known for film contributions including 'Black Sheep' in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the Twilight Saga: Eclipse theme.
Metric released their tenth studio album Romanticize the Dive on April 24, 2026, via Thirty Tigers, to generally positive reviews.
Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars expanded their 'All the Feelings Tour' by 14 dates, adding a European leg with stops in Dublin, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Paris, Antwerp, Utrecht and Berlin.
Metric announced the 'All the Feelings Tour' alongside Broken Social Scene and Stars, a 34-date North American and European run promoted by Live Nation starting June 8 in Austin.
Metric pulled out of a planned US co-headlining tour with Bloc Party in April 2025, citing a broken production agreement.
Metric songs appeared in popular Netflix shows Wayward and I Love LA in 2025, continuing the band's long track record of film and TV placements.
