Metric are insanely creative and for more information on their musical journey you can check out wikipedia where the following details were found.
"During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Metric, along with several other Canadian music acts, came together in Vancouver to re-record K'Naan's song "Wavin' Flag" to benefit Haiti in a movement called Young Artists for Haiti.
On February 28, 2010, Metric released the track "Black Sheep" through their Facebook page. The song is on the soundtrack for the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In the movie this song is sung by Brie Larson who played Envy Adams in the film. Interestingly, Scott Pilgrim author Bryan Lee O'Malley said he was inspired by concert photos of Emily Haines while originally drawing Envy's singing poses. The band toured in western USA, before playing shows in the Canadian Maritimes and Eastern Ontario for most of March 2010.
Metric also toured with Sarah McLachlan for part of her 2010 Lilith Fair.
Metric won multiple awards at the 2010 Juno Awards, winning Group of the Year and Alternative Album of the Year.
On May 12, 2010, it was revealed that Metric will have a song, "Eclipse (All Yours)" on the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. The album was released on June 8, 2010. The song was written with composer Howard Shore. The deluxe version of the album also has an acoustic version of the song.
During October and November 2010, Metric opened for Muse for seven shows of The Resistance Tour. They were part of the lineup for Voodoo Experience 2010 which took place over Halloween weekend in New Orleans, LA.
Metric performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 21, 2010.
Metric announced that they will be returning to the studio in late 2010 to write and record for their fifth studio album."
Here is the video of Black Sheep, released a year ago, on Feb 28th 2010.
I can't wait to hear their new songs.
