Arcade Fire's Alter Ego?

Arcade Fire used to be the best kept secret for rock music lovers; that is until they won a Grammy for Album of the Year a few weeks ago.

The Suburbs is easily the smartest, most well-crafted, and artistic album of 2010. Songs like "The Suburbs," "Ready To Start," "City With No Children," and "Month Of May"garnered them mainstream attention without cutting their indie roots. But now with a Grammy on their holster, they can no longer return to being known as the "amazing unknown band." They're still amazing, but winning that Grammy seemed to me like the passing of the torch to another band. As if it was someone else's turn to lead the underground indie movement.

This torch isn't even leaving Quebec.

Metric are an indie rock band just like Arcade Fire, but more compact (only four members compared to Arcade Fire's "orchestra"). They also have a heavier sound, but at the same time, just as mysterious and pleasant as Arcade Fire.
