On The Up

Time Out invite The Metros to re-start their new and improved music series, On The Up, on July 27 at the Bar Academy Islington. From now on all tickets for On The Up events are free so just click the 'FREE TICKETS' button above to apply for yours.

Peckam boys The Metros may currently be awaiting the results of their A-levels, but you’d imagine they’re not too worried. After all, they’ve already inked a deal with the none-more-cool 1965 Records, and have been described by label manager James Endeacott – the man who introduced the world to The Strokes, The Libertines and The View – as ‘the most exciting band I’ve ever worked with, bar none.’ And when you hear the noise they make, a glorious drunk-funk racket that draws from the clever-pop nuggets of Ian Dury & The Blockheads and Squeeze, you’ll find it hard to disagree with him. If you’re quick, you might just be able to get your hands on a copy of their super-limited ‘Education Pt 2’ single, otherwise get to their MySpace page right now.
