“Bold, unsympathetic and brutally effective.” – NME
“One of the best …a punishing, noisy, exhilarating thing” – The New Yorker

“They sound pissed off, which I fuckin’ like” – Liam Gallagher

The best punk rock isn’t an ‘assault’ as much as it’s a challenge. A challenge to what’s normal, to what’s comfortable, to what’s expected.

METZ are punk rock incarnate, as those who were there for their last China shows know too well. They are an empathic but artful hammer swing to the status quo. Pure yet intricately arranged redline chaos.

Their music is uninhibited and urgent, a kind of sonic venting, a truculent social commentary that bludgeons and provokes, excites and unsettles. It’s important noise.

Join us for a show teetering on the edge of perpetual implosion. Shanghai: Sat May 26 at Yuyintang Park.
