About this album

Metro Music is the sharp, hook-rich debut that introduced Martha And The Muffins as one of Canada’s most inventive new wave bands. Released in 1980, the album blends synth-pop colour, angular guitars and cool, observational lyrics into songs that feel both immediate and slightly off-centre. Its best-known moment, “Echo Beach”, became an international breakthrough and gave the band a lasting place in the era’s pop story. Built on crisp arrangements and a restless, urban sensibility, the record helped define how artful post-punk could still deliver a genuinely memorable single, while keeping enough edge to stand apart from mainstream pop.
