Ron Flieger helps us kick the weekend off on the right note with his brand new remix of Metric's Stadium Love . Following hugely successful official work for both Ladyhawke and Foster The People, we've come to expect great things from the German producer, and that's exactly what we get here. He's done a killer mix on the original, keeping Emily Haines vocals at the forefront while adding in a crisp electro beat to back them up. Make sure you add this one to those weekend playlists. Happy Friday everybody! DOWNLOAD [...]
Verse Metrics , a Glaswegian quartet, have released their moody EP, Radians today. A five-song EP, it traverses indie post-punk well with clacking rhythms and slow guitar melodies that feel like Interpol threw them out for the bums to fight over. Now, Verse Metrics does this with some class - don't let me call them bums. They shine in certain spots, where in others, they just sound like Mogwai b-sides. The guitar-only bit that builds in "Aches" is incendiary, and you can download the single from their [...]
![Full Stream // Verse Metrics ~ Radians [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4650782_lg.jpg)
Last week we bought your our review of Radians, the new EP from Scottish rocksters Verse Metrics. Within said review we praised the " expansive, atmospheric five tracks " and declared the EP as " the work of a band that ask for your full and undivided emotional attention." Well, now you no longer have to take our word for it as we're very pleased to bring you an exclusive stream of the EP in full here on GFP. It's only going to be available until 5pm tomorrow, so [...]

"Their fans will stand by them ‘till the death, but this album missed the bull’s eye by a small margin..." Metric | Synthetica To put it bluntly, Metric’s fifth album, Synthetica , sounds like the type of album that is produced mainly for one sole purpose: commercialisation. Their music has always been consistently solid ̶ the songs from their second album, Live It Out , do well to support the idea that Metric has the potential to make very good music with interesting lyrics ̶ and Emily Haines, the lead singer, is [...]
Metric quietly posted their new album, "Synthetica" , to their Soundcloud late last week, but now they've offered up the album to the world at large. A bit peppier than "Fantasies" , Metric 's sound keeps growing more refined, Emily's voice more broad and interesting. Be sure to check out track 10, "The Wanderlust" , a pretty fantastic collaboration with Lou Reed . "Synthetica" is due June 14th on Metric Music International (awesome to see them releasing music on [...]
Listen to "Speed The Collapse" , the second single off Metric 's "Synthetica" which is out June 12 via their own Metric Music International . After having given us last month the glam-rock-y and anthemic "Youth Without Youth" as the lead single off their upcoming fifth studio album, "Synthetica" , Metric have just given us a second glimpse at their June 12 release. The second single is "Speed The Collapse" , which is gloomier in its [...]
![[NEW] Metric: Youth Without Youth](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4242756_lg.jpg)
Metric is back with a dark new fuzzed out electro-rock single, 'Youth Without Youth', in lead up to their new album Synthetica out in June. 'Youth Without Youth' showcases Metric 's brilliant lyrical talent as it tells the story of corrupted childhood and lead singers, Emily Haines, slick and smoky voice. Synthetica will be released on June 12 via Metric Music International/Mom + Pop. Metric Official Metric Facebook Metric Twitter [...]
"Youth Without Youth" is the lead single from the new METRIC album, SYNTHETICA , out June 12th. You can check out the story of the making of the record at ilovemetric.com . Sounds vaguely reminiscent of Depeche Mode and even Nirvana at times, am I wrong? Metric - Youth Without Youth |
Listen to "Youth Without Youth" , Metric 's first single off their upcoming album "Synthetica" , due out June 12 via their own Metric Music International . Metric is set to release their fifth studio album "Synthetica" in a bit over a month, but they've just released "Youth Without Youth" , their first single off that forthcoming production. Emily Haines ' vocals are still there doing what they usually do, and their electronica/disco influences are intact, but this time [...]
![[Introducing] – Kodacrome](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4085561_lg.jpg)
Tweet Sometimes I am straight-up amazed by the sort of nonsense that PR copywriters actually churn out. I swear the day I read about a band who are described as "quite good" and "not all that original, but fresh enough" I'll know I'm sitting on the next Beatles . Fortunately for Kodacrome I listened to their music before I read their press-pack, and the music pretty much speaks for itself. I'll distill the actually useful parts of the [...]

Tweet Music can be a funny thing. You can go years not knowing that a song you heard way back happens to be the same band that you are currently digging. For me, the track was “Lassoo” off 2008’s “Neptune” . I probably heard it at some party held by someone more musically inclined than me at the time. Fast forward to the November 2011 release of “Bruiser” . I’m listening to this fantastic new offering from a band I’m having trouble [...]
If you are a fan of Potholes, you are a fan of Open Mike Eagle . An MC that has been recording since 2004, Open Mike has paved a unique path for himself in hip-hop. With his most recent release Rappers Will Die Of Natural Causes only a few months behind us, we thought it would be wise to get even more familiar with an artist we already know so much about. Continuing our Potholes Podcast series, Open Mike lends us his time to spin a rather eclectic mix of tracks, ranging from [...]

It's been a while since we've heard from Paranoiak, the label that looks after an exciting crop of new aritsts, from Star Guitar to Irish Steph - and today they pointed us in the direction of the ever decisive DECIDE. He's not actually part of Parnoiak, but is a friend of the label - we know nothing about him, his bio is in french - so we're waiting to hear back from him but he is giving away 8 tracks and the mystery allows us to judge him without any preconceptions. As far as we can [...]
