Happy METZiversary! The Toronto punks are celebrating 10 years of their watershed self-titled debut METZ — released October 9, 2012, and heralded as one of Exclaim!'s 50 Best Canadian Albums of the 2010s — with a deluxe expanded edition of the album.

Now available across streaming platforms, METZ (Deluxe Edition) features three bonus tracks: versions of "Wet Blanket," "Wasted" and "Get Off" recorded for a BBC Radio 1 session at Maida Vale Studios, which originally aired on Huw Stephens's show in 2013.

METZ have also released a selection of limited-edition merch and bundles in honour of the occasion, including a 24 by 36-inch 10th anniversary poster printed on metallic foil, designed by Jeff Kleinsmith and featuring a new illustration by Rick Froberg, limited to 125 copies.

Later this month, the band will embark on an anniversary tour of North America, beginning with a hometown show in Toronto as the lone Canadian date of the trek. They also recently joined forces with Joe Talbot of IDLES on new single "Come on Down."
