METZ share animated "Mr. Plague" video, expand tour, playing on a boat in NYC

Toronto’s METZ have just shared the video for “Mr. Plague” from last year’s Strange Peace. Directed by animator Shayne Ehman of Cricket Cave, the lurid visuals go well with the near-industrial noise punk of the song. Watch that above.

Currently on tour in Europe with fellow Sub Pop band Moaning, METZ have added more dates to their 2018 schedule, including a few East Coast dates in June, including the 6/14 Rocks Off Concert Cruise in NYC (tickets). They’ve also got dates in Asia and more in Europe in the Summer. All dates are listed below.
