On Wednesday, April 23rd, Canadian punk/noise-rock greats METZ reunited for an exceptional, one-time-only TV performance of “A Boat to Drown In,” on the April 2025 Christmas episode of Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney on Netflix. Watch now.
“A Boat to Drown In,” specifically requested by and a favorite of John Mulaney, appears on the band’s acclaimed 2020 Sub Pop album Atlas Vending. METZ’s most recent (and, as it turns out, final) album is the equally acclaimed 2023 release Up On Gravity Hill. Both are available worldwide from Sub Pop.
“‘A Boat to Drown In’ presents the more melodic side of Metz. It still slaps mighty hard, but all that noise congeals into a droning harmonic barrage that surges forward at high speed for nearly eight minutes. “ Stereogum
“METZ are back with the chaotic noise-rock anthem of the summer.” Louder
“…a roaring and introspective track.” The Observer
“Propelled forward by the most satisfyingly scuzzy guitars, the near-eight minute track is a melding point of gnarliness, an immersion therapy of punk.” DIY
“…the Toronto trio have released their best material to date with this (eight-minute) new single.” The Independent ‘I’ |
