Metric es una banda canadiense de rock indie e influencias de New Wave, formada en la ciudad de Toronto por la vocalista Emily Haines (que también toca la guitarra y el sintetizador), el guitarrista James Shaw, el bajista Josh Winstead y en la batería Joules Scott-Key.
El primer álbum que grabaron fue Grow Up and Blow Away en 2001, sin embargo, los problemas que atravesaba la discográfica a la que pertenecían hizo que no viera la luz hasta 2007, cuando otra casa, Last Gang Records, compró los derechos para publicarlo.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
If I've made any errors that matter, let me know: [email protected]. I'm not entirely sure about the inversions (slash chords) in the first verse. Sonority-wise, I'm confident they are inverted as such, with a descending bass-line, half steps, but I'm not sure if what have is exactly what the acoustic guitar is playing.
It also sounds like most of the A minors are E-string barre chords, though again, I may again be listening to the whole rather than solely the acoustic guitar there.
I was also loose about sevenths. The only chords that may have a seventh are the E (and E/G#) chords. If you think you hear the D in there, let me know, and I'll give it a listen and fix this.
Thanks, Stephen

No I'm not complaining, Yes it could be worse Ferment on the wish bone, Match the lips to the purse Neighborhood's a runway, Fry the ass and thighs Dirty diamond dealers, pushed behind the ire's
