METZ (2010, 2012) – Teaser

Toronto’s METZ were recently asked to reunite for a performance on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and so I dug into my archives for my first conversation with the band’s Alex Edkins. My digging led me to our second conversation as well, so I’ve combined them here for you and other METZ fans. Alex and I had met a number of times at METZ shows before our first interview, which was a phoner that took place on Tuesday December 14, 2010, at 2:00 PM ET. Our next interview, again via telephone, took place on Tuesday June 12, 2012, at 1:00 PM ET, and we discussed the band’s big news: they’d finished their debut album, and were about to start working with Sub Pop Records.

To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).
