Description
If youre looking for a raw, sugary blast of distorted pop, look no further than Weird Nightmare. The debut album from METZ guitarist and vocalist Alex Edkins contains all of his main bands bite with an unexpected, yet totally satisfying, sweetness. Imagine The Amps covering Big Star, or the gloriously hissy miniature epics of classic-era Guided by Voices combined with the bombast of Copper Blue- era Sugarjust tons of red-line distortion cut with the type of tunecraft that thrills the moment it hits your ears.
A few guests pitch in on Weird Nightmare: Canadian alt-pop genius Chad VanGaalen adds his unmistakable touch to the ever-escalating Oh No, while Alicia Bognanno of Bully lends her distinctive pipes to the thrashing Wrecked, a collaboration that effectively saved the song. I almost didnt put it on the album because I thought it was missing something, Edkins explains. I sent it to Alicia and she lifted it way up.
