Watch METZ reunite to perform on ‘Everybody’s Live’

METZ have reunited for a one-off appearance on Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney – watch the video below.

The Toronto noise rockers announced that they were going on “indefinite hiatus” last October and played their final show in London’s EartH Hackney the following month.

Now, however, they have made a one-night comeback as the special musical guests on the Netflix chat show, where they played their track ‘A Boat To Drown In’, from their fourth album ‘Atlas Vending’, released in 2020.

Mulaney introduced them as “one of my favourite bands ever”, adding that they had “reunited for one night only”. The full performance is streaming on Netflix now, while you can watch a clip of the performance here:

The announcement of their hiatus came when the band – comprised of guitarist and vocalist Alex Edkins, bassist Chris Slorach and drummer Hayden Menzies – shared that they had “collectively decided” to “close this chapter of METZ” to “focus on other endeavours and enjoy more time at home with our families.”

The statement read: “For the last 15+ years, we’ve dedicated our lives to this band and have had the immense privilege and pleasure of touring the globe and seeing the world. It has been nothing short of life-affirming. METZ has brought an immeasurable amount of joy to our lives and it’s our sincere hope it’s brought you some joy too. We are so grateful to all of you who’ve joined us along the way and have made this life a reality for the three of us.”

“If you’ve ever attended a METZ show, you know it was more than a band to us. We gave every ounce of ourselves to METZ, and it will be very hard to let it go,” they continued. “The intangible feeling of connection, community, and inclusivity that music creates has always been at the heart of what we do and will inevitably be what we miss the most. We will miss singing, screaming, sweating, and dancing with all of you.”

In a four-star review of their 2012 debut, NME wrote: “Metz deliver the same righteous anger that informed much of their favourite music in the early ’90s. The players might have changed but the problems remain the same: those affected by youth unemployment and conservative government can find salvation in hardcore. Metz are here to offer you redemption.”
