Fields, they
definitely deserve the slot, and what a great idea to clash it with the hollow Bloc Party sound.

I swear
they supported dfa 1979 aswel, i think before you'd signed them though.

i think kele
makes the lyrics to bloc party songs up as he goes along. seriously. they are terrible.
-
Empty
is arguably the best song on the Metric album. Good choice, powers that be
