Toronto post-punk trio METZ have released “Wet Blanket”, the second single off their debut self-titled LP. While lead single “Headache” was a full-on auditory assault, this latest track sees the band mix it up slightly, using the big, blistering guitar to add a bit of rock swagger to the ceaseless waves of disharmony and dissonance. Stream and/or download it below.
