Bill Haley & the Comets - Rip It Up - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Since releasing their self-titled debut record in 2012, which The New Yorker called, InchOne of the year's best albums... a punishing, noisy, exhilarating thing,Inch the Toronto-based 3-piece METZ have garnered international acclaim as one of the most electrifying and forceful live acts, touring widely and extensively, playing hundreds of shows each year around the world.

Strange Peace isn't merely a collection of eleven uninhibited and urgent songs. It's also a kind of sonic venting, a truculent social commentary that bludgeons and provokes, excites and unsettles. With all the pleasurable tension and anxiety of a fever dream, Strange Peace is equal parts challenging and accessible. It is this implausible balancing act, moving from one end of the musical spectrum to the other, that only a band of METZ's power and capacity can maintain discordant and melodic, powerful and controlled, meticulous and instinctive, s
