poor song. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2839	March 19th, 2008 at 05:34am Myspace. Website Leafy streets with rows of boutiques and brasseries may not correspond to general perceptions of Peckham, but nonetheless it is just such a location where fast-rising fivesome The Metros convene. Their collision of punk, ska and rock'n'roll has been honed in the bars of south London, from where the Klaxons and Art Brut have already emerged. The quintet's tales of failed criminals and escapees come from hanging around the wrong sort of people in the wrong kind of pubs. Not that these teenage scamps, all 18, are out to change attitudes towards the notorious environ, even if they complain about northern interviewers harping on about Only Fools and Horses. Instead, lanky guitarist Joe Simpson whispers that he has been held up at knifepoint a couple of times. Yet what emerges over a couple of pints is that the band remain attached to the place where several of them grew up (lead guitarist Jak Payne was born above the Desmond's barber's shop that inspired a Channel 4 sitcom of the same name). Members: Sauly Adamczewski, Jak Payne, Charlie Elliott, Joe "CURLY JOE" Pancucci-Simpson. Like them ...... Herd Of Them ?
