Toronto’s Weird Nightmare, the project of ex-Metz member Alex Edkins, has recently dropped the music video for “Might See You There.”
The second single is taken from the upcoming album Hoopla, which comes out on May 1, 2026 via Sub Pop (outside of Canada) and Dine Alone Records in Canada.
The track leans into a retro-tinged alt-rock sound, carried by bright jangle guitars and an easygoing melodic pull.
It’s a breezy, nostalgic turn that highlights a softer but no less compelling side of Edkins’ songwriting.
About the track by Alex:
“Might See You There” is about going back to visit my hometown and being flooded with teenage nostalgia. Small-town boredom and isolation almost feel like a gift in today’s highly connected world. I feel fortunate for that time spent idly, down in the basement, learning the entire Rancid Let’s Go album on guitar with my friends. I find it easy to romanticize that time in my life, even though I was, without question, a disgruntled kid who badly wanted to escape my surroundings and see the world.
I was listening to a lot of the Irish bands the Undertones and Protex while writing this one, and I think there is a fair bit of their influence. Just the simplicity and big bar chords mostly. Seth Manchester and I were very into the idea of adding piano and bells to the outro, akin to the Phil Spector-produced End Of The Century album by The Ramones. The great Julianna Riolino sings with me on the choruses, too!
