Striking that golden balance between old and new, Weird Nightmare (Led by Alex Edkins of METZ) offers up charged and angsty guitar crunch and gang vocals with their sophomore record Hoopla. Co-produced with Jim Eno of Spoon, there's grit, noise, and plenty of rock'n'roll to go around... we're even tasting notes of midwest-emo in there too. Delicious stuff! - Flying Out
Every band worth its salt has a member who worked in a record store. In METZ, the fearless noise rock trio who released five full-length albums on Sub Pop between 2012 and 2024, it was singer and guitarist Alex Edkins. Slinging indie rock and hardcore records in his hometown record store while attending university, Edkins became an ardent student of rock ‘n’ roll from the psychedelic 1960s to the DIY 1990s and beyond. Hoopla, the catchy, melodic second LP from Edkins’s solo project Weird Nightmare, mixes and matches these influences in fun and exhilarating combinations, displaying his sophisticated musical mind. Bursting to life with hooks and earworms, Hoopla is that one tape that never gets ejected from the car stereo, but plays on repeat, soundtracking the summer. New and nostalgic at the same time, Hoopla will perk up your ears.
