The Metros return with the release of a new single 'Talk About It' on September 8th on 1965 Records.
Taken from their forthcoming debut album 'More Money Less Grief' which follows on September 15th, 'Talk About It' is a three minute blitz through the wonderful world of The Metros.
Bottled down it is essentially a rhythmic, anthemic, schizoid punkoid stream of tourettes-iousness that fits as much sound tracking mischief on the streets of their native Peckham as on any in this Fair Isle. This summer's most wonderfully belligerent sing-a-long is here...
Produced by their mate Baxter Dury, 'More Money Less Grief' avoids the clichéd one dimensional formula often adopted by young bands today; Incorporating and invoking pop hooks, thrashy punk rock, hummable choruses, tongue-in cheek humour, frank pub-crawl tales of teenage sex and adventure, whilst still capturing the youthful exuberance that makes them uniquely The Metros.
Recent performances at Glastonbury, Oxegen & T-in the Park have shown a band that has grown from a once rawkus gang into one of the most exciting bands around. Miss them at Reading /Leeds and live this autumn at your peril. Lock up your daughters (& mums), the south east lovers have arrived...
Talk About It is released on CD/ltd 7" and download. The video link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUtGnwn6iFo
