New York City, United States (1998 – present)

Formed in Toronto but, at various times, based in Montreal, London, New York and L.A., Metric are a band who have embraced an eclectic and adventurous outlook — the group’s music encompasses elements of synth pop, new wave, dance, rock, and electronic. Metric’s fourth studio album, “Fantasies”, has been shortlisted for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize.

Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, and Haines has been a guest on albums by Stars, kc accidental, Delerium, The Stills, and Jason Collett. Scott-Key and Winstead have their own side project, bang lime, and Haines has released a solo album under the name Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton.

Metric is also featured on the Cannes-awarded (Best Actress) film “Clean”, playing themselves.

Their songs “Monster Hospital”, “Police and the Private”, “Blindness” and “Front Row” have been used on the television show Grey’s Anatomy. “Monster Hospital” has also been used in CSI: Miami and “Gold Gun Girls” has been used on Gossip Girl, Zombieland and Entourage. Gossip Girl also featured “Gimme Sympathy” in the same episode

Their latest album, Fantasies, was released in 2009.
