Metric Releases 8-Track Acoustic/Electric iTunes Session

Metric Releases 8-Track Acoustic/Electric iTunes Session Metric kicked off the year with an 8-track acoustic/electric session that is only available on iTunes.

We captured for the first time on tape (not a camera phone) the extended versions of a few of our live concert classics as well as a couple acoustic numbers accompanied by a string quartet led by Todor Kobakov."

2. Help I'm Alive
