His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song

It is a beautiful Friday afternoon and your weekend kick off song is actually on time today. I think that this is cause for a celebration. I feel mildly guilty for neglecting you and then being late for two weeks in a row so for that reason and because it's a long weekend I am going to give you a little bonus song in addition to your regular wkos. I've felt pretty patriotic over the past few weeks so like last week, you're getting Canadian bands.

Help I'm Alive - Metric


Metric is an amazing indie rock band from Tronto, Ontario. They released their first cd in 2001 entitled Grow Up and Blow Away. They have three other cds as well. Old World Underground, Where are You Now? released in 2003, Live It Out released in 2007 and their newset album Fantasies released in April of 2009. All of their record have been released by Last Gang Records. Recently their music has popped up in the blogs of Mark Hoppus of blink-182 and William Beckett of The Academy Is...

Here is a little FF for ya, a fun fact if you will: Emily Hines lead vocalist of the band was actually born in New Delhi, India but was raised in Peterborough, Ontario. She has dual citizenship.

I have been listening to Metric since 2004 or 2005... when ever they released Combat Baby as a single. They're a solid band and have a different sound.

And for your bonus song...

All To Myself - Marianas Trench


This is the second single of their second album Masterpiece Theater. The boys from Marianas Trench are from BC, Canada. Canadian's loved their first album FIX ME. Their singles, Say Anything, Decided to Break It and Shake Tramp did pretty well on the charts. I own the album my self and it's pretty solid. I loved it.

I have seen the band place twice. Once a couple of years ago and they put on a stellar performance. I recently saw them and was a little disappointed, but this song is pretty rad.

All Info on the band came from my head. I'm sure you can find it online in various places though.


Alright friends, enjoy the weekend.
Later Days
