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.
