Metz announce new album, tour dates, pancakes…

Metzii

METZ is back with none other than METZ II, off of Sub Pop on May 5. Their last album, METZ, hit 2012 hard and they hit the road even harder, touring all over the place these last few years. The Toronto-based noise rock group is back on the road with a new album and some pretty chill tourmates.

Before we get to the tour dates and other details, here’s a song off of METZ II, called “Acetate,” in video form, featuring pancakes:

Pancakes have never looked or sounded so good.
