Happy 1 year to our self-titled album 🎂🎈. We poured in lots of pain, hope, and basically everything we had at the time to make this album. We feel blessed to have fans from the very beginning still, and that we’ve made so many more because of this album! Touring to promote this on the west coast has been different than before, and now a completely magical experience as we’ve now somehow made it to Europe and the UK ❤️

So many memories already, I simply could not put it all in one post. Thank you all for listening, for drawing us, writing about us, photographing us, sharing our music, and ultimately for buying this record and other merch. It means the world and keeps us going ‼️‼️💕💕

Lastly, thank you @psychedrecordssf for believing in us and @ivyagencyworldwide and @annibalebooking for putting us on our best tours so far as a small independent band. Could not be doing any of this without you ‼️‼️

BACKROOM DEAL — is out today!!! It’s about nerves, hidden agendas, and not making yourself useful. Featuring the TRAVIS 3000.

@thedunkel absolutely outdid himself on this video. Every frame is packed with imagination and little details we’re still catching. He took the song somewhere we never would’ve thought to take it.

We’re so fucking happy with this one. Much love to @thedunkel for the time, talent, and beautifully weird brain behind it. 🖤

This Week with the letter F: You know, just me talking about how much more I like flannel weather than summer weather and that I'd happily live in 10-15c.

If there's a snowbird that flies away from snow, and I want to fly TO a place with continued fall weather, what's that called? Oh, I don't know. Let's listen to some amazing music instead by:

NEW ARRIVAL __________________
▪️WEIRD NIGHTMARE
Hoopla
(Loser Edition on Transparent Orange Vinyl)

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.

Weird Nightmare’s self-produced, and decidedly lo-fi, self-titled debut was recorded at home during the pandemic and released by Sub Pop in 2022. Weird Nightmare displayed Edkins’s indie rock sensibility, with a penchant for undeniable hooks and massive sing-along choruses.

IT’S OFFICIALLY OUT. ‘DROP ME’ is available to stream and purchase 💔 I’m thrilled to share this work with you.

These songs are for the angry, the hurt, the sad and the hopeful. You are never alone.

“I accept this reality even though it’s blind faith”

Thank you to my bandmates who helped bring this record to life and joined me on this adventure @jessejamesladeroute , @jameskearns3 , @jandersup To my producers @joshkorody and @weirdnightmare for believing in me and making my sonic vision come to life. @yobeks for assisting and guiding me through marketing/promotion and being there for me in the late hours before release ❤️.

~ Miranda xo

Written by vocalist and songwriter Miranda Armstrong during the summer of 2024, the album took shape amid a turbulent relationship as Armstrong split her time between the chaos of Toronto and the quiet tobacco fields of Norfolk County, Ontario, where her family lives. That tension between noise and stillness pulses through every track. Fuelled by patriarchal rage, DROP ME swings between cathartic aggression and danceable grooves. Drawing from Armstrong’s background across multiple genres, DROP ME blends post-punk, hardcore, grunge, doom metal, and industrial into something raw, heavy, and unpredictable. While comparisons to ‘90s acts like Garbage, Nine Inch Nails, and Ministry feel fitting, SO TIRED still carve out a sound entirely their own through jagged song structures, massive low-end, and Armstrong’s striking vocal delivery. The album was brought to life alongside guitarist Jesse Laderoute and producers Josh Korody and Alex Edkins (METZ and Weird Nightmare), who also co-wrote two tracks with Armstrong.

Produced with the support of the City of Toronto through @torontoartscouncil
