Not awake yet this morning? Press play on the new METZ song and you definitely will be.

While I thought the title of the song was about packing gear after a show (or untangling it beforehand), frontman Alex Edkins says “Mess of Wires” is “a reminder to myself to speak out and say what I believe. To be honest with myself. It is common to feel that your thoughts are inconsequential, a drop in the echo-chamber, but silence can be worse. Speak out about what you believe in, loud and often. In the spirit of this song, I want to strongly condemn the violent and hateful actions of the white-supremacists and neo-nazis in Charlottesville, VA this past week. Their vile attempts to incite division and fear through intimidation and violence have no place in this world.”
