With his new LP, Hoopla, coming out on 1 May, Tom chatted with the METZ frontman about his influences and love of of distorted guitars.

On his upcoming album, Alex Edkins dabbles in all kinds of (sub)genres of rock. And yet it sounds totally unique.

Edkins has in the past fronted the punk band METZ (on hiatus for the time) and says he finds the mixing and matching of new sounds liberating.

We'll of course be spinning some new Weird Nighmare tracks when the album releases on 1 May – so stay tuned!
