MUSIC HAS HAD IT TOO GOOD FOR TOO LONG. Rochester, New York four-piece electronic-rock-whateverists, KOPPS, live by this mantra. Bringing accountability back to pop sensibility, they intend to both antagonize and revitalize. Loudly. Their song “Dumb” has amassed over 6 million plays on Spotify with just a one-word chorus (which is of course, “dumb”). Produced by Daniel Armbruster of Joywave (the band featured KOPPS on their own leading single “Tongues”), the music leaves no room for complacency and will push any fence-sitters to one side or the other.

In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed what would become Metric and left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In 2001/2002, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, and found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and more. Unlike their peers, Metric resisted major label offers, releasing albums that pushed boundaries on their own terms.

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out October 13 via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera
