'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST - Summit Ent./Atlantic Records
The name origin of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack band METRIC has just been revealed by Spin Magazine, and it might not be what you think.
"Some people think it has something to do with the fact that we're from Canada -- which uses the metric system. That was coincidental," explained singer and guitarist Emily Haines.
"It came from a song that [bandmate] Jimmy [Shaw] and I were working on back in Toronto in the early days, like '97 or '98. . . . When we saw that word on the keyboard's LED screen it looked so electro. It had a no [B.S.] vibe. It was a little cold and standoffish and we're down with that. It works for us."
Haines also revealed that another name choice that came up included Mainstream and that her favorite band name is The Flaming Lips ("Do You Realize?" is one of their most popular songs).
METRIC contributed "Eclipse (All Yours)" to the Eclipse soundtrack and has released both a music video and a behind-the-scenes video of the music video's creation.
