Indie Rock from Metrophobia

Metrophobia is an alternative rock duo based in Geneva, Switzerland, formed by vocalist and acoustic guitarist Markus Gmür and guitarist, bass player and drum programmer José Garrido. Together they combine to deliver melodic rock music tinged by grungey vibes that takes inspiration from the likes of Pixies, Teenage Fanclub, Bivouac, Dinosaur Jr, Catherine Wheel and Ride.

Juxtaposing a dark and melancholic atmosphere with delicate pop-centric writing, they craft a sound that’s euphoric, captivating and grandiose in its scale. Adding ingredients such as gritty guitar work, fierce drums and vivid melodic leads carrying reflective lyricism, the Metrophobia sound offers something entirely unique.

Last year they made their impactful entrance with their debut record titled Silent Treatment, a stunning eleven-track opus that served as their sonic statement of intent. Heading into 2022 riding a wave of momentum, they’ve dropped a string of well-received singles and now bring us one of their most recent works with the new single “Words Unsaid”.

Laying down a moody and dark energy driven by an imposing tapestry of powerful guitars and deep bass lines, with “Words Unsaid”, Metrophobia showcase their moving songwriting at its very best. Dedicated to Alzheimer patients and their families, “Words Unsaid” is written about the brittle nature of life being too short to leave important words unsaid.

Paired with the single is a music video created by José Garrido that offers a poignant monochromatic visual reflection of the music to provide a beautiful accompaniment to a profound song from a truly talented duo.
