Metric is Emily Haines (vocals, keys), Jimmy Shaw(producer, guitar, keys), Joshua Winstead (bass guitar, keys) and Joules Scott Key(drums). They have spent over 20 years together in creative partnership and are releasing their 10th studio album in 2026 maintaining the original lineup..  “The band has become Canadian indie-rock icons,” says Pitchfork.  “Metric [has] their own increasingly rare success story.” The band resisted major label offers in favor of starting their own label and retaining control of their own material and career, and for the last two decades have found themselves on an unusual trajectory of increasing success while continuing to push their own artistic boundaries past conventional expectations.
