Metrorail is known far and wide as the most on-time punk band–
we didn’t have day jobs, we’d show up Hours early.
We used to have a sign outside our practice space reading:
METRORAIL WILL PLAY FOR FOOD
hahhah, but seriously folks, we’re all struggling artists,
throw us a bone, we’ll play your joint.
