The Ladies in Canada know how to rock too.

For almost a decade, Emily Haines and her band Metric were the hottest thing going in the Toronto Alternative, Indie scene. A mix of indie, alternative, synth pop and new wave, throughout their career the band travelled the world as a supporting act for bands like the Rolling Stones, Muse, The Smashing Pumpkins and more.

Please Enjoy!

I played this over the Bluetooth speaker and my wife stopped what she was doing and just looked at me and said "I can't believe you're playing this song". Apparently it's been a favourite of hers for ages and I've never heard it 🤣🤣

If your wife likes Metric, have her listen to this tune by the Framework. Another Toronto Indie band in the same vein.

Emily Haines went to Etobicoke School of the Arts. Which I know well as I lived fairly close to there and way back when in the long long ago took a couple summer school courses there.
