Weird Nightmare

Weird Nightmare is the compelling solo project from METZ vocalist and guitarist Alex Edkins, offering an electrifying blend of alternative rock and indie rock that has drawn significant acclaim among discerning fans. Based in the United States, Edkins channels a raw, melodic sensibility distinct from his work with METZ, crafting tracks that resonate with both depth and immediacy. Singles such as “Forever Elsewhere” and “I Think You Know” showcase his ability to fuse fuzzed-out guitars with infectious hooks, while the self-titled debut album introduced audiences to his striking solo vision.

2026 marks a significant moment for Weird Nightmare with the release of the new album “Hoopla” via Sub Pop Records and Dine Alone Records in Canada, further cementing Edkins’ reputation for boundary-pushing songcraft. Recent singles like “Might See You There” highlight his knack for balancing dense sonic textures with emotive songwriting, a quality that continues to set him apart in the alternative and indie rock spheres. Tracks such as “Darkroom” and “Headful of Rain” have further expanded his musical palette, making his catalogue essential listening for aficionados of the genre.

Weird Nightmare is set to headline a series of concerts across the United Kingdom in September 2026, including shows at The Attic in Leeds, The Hug and Pint in Glasgow, Heartbreakers in Southampton, The Lexington in London, and Alphabet in Brighton. With live music dates set in intimate venues, these gigs promise a truly immersive experience for fans.
