METZ 's/t' LP (US, Ossining Records, Catalogue #OSR 1001) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2012 Ossining Records label LP edition of rare 1974 Glam Rock record by Texas band Metz (originally released in 1974 on the Chrome Starr label.) T. Rex and Grand Funk Shinin' On era vibes. Another fantastic discovery from the Rockadelic/Acid Archives crowd. 

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

“Hearing it in its entirety for the first time confirmed that it was every bit as good, if not better, than I had imagined. The late 70’s produced some great hard rock in the Lone Star State and way too little of it made its way to vinyl. Metz takes that hard rockin’ Tejas spirit to the next level by injecting the music with equal parts Glam and Dirty White Boy Funk and its about time the world got to hear it."- Rich Haupt/Rockadelic.

"Some will find it hard to believe that a glamrock band with a gritty urban veneer came from Texas and stuck together long enough to release this milestone record. The Metz take on glam includes some of the associated clichés, like heavy chunks of chord strokes and catchy riffs, danceable rhythms and beats, and a vocalist with some theatrical influence in the singing department. Besides the obvious, Metz bring some original flair that pushes their material over the top! Instead of the lead singer getting all the attention (he sounds like a cross between Marc Bolan and a less angry Johnny Rotten), it’s the two or three sassy black girls that steal the show with the best vocals (leads & harmonies) on the entire album. These streetwise babes strut along as they dish out extra servings of sex appeal during performances, which is a scarce gender switch for glam rock. Metz also provides lots of mind-stripping guitar solos and untamed organ with hovering Leslie cabinets that occasionally drift into dark and gothic sound trips." - Scott "Loopden" Bubrig/Acid Archives.
