Listening notes
Released in 2009 on Metric Music International, "Help I'm Alive" is a vinyl single from Metric carrying catalog number MET80018. The release presents two tracks across its two sides: the A-side offers the title track at four minutes and forty-seven seconds, while the B-side features "Help I'm A B-Side," running three minutes and fifty seconds.
Cataloged under the genres of Alternative Rock, Electro, Electronic, and Rock, the single reflects the band's positioning across multiple genre classifications during this period. The B-side title itself demonstrates a degree of self-awareness, its name directly acknowledging its role as a companion piece to the primary track.
As a physical format release issued under the band's own Metric Music International imprint, the single represents the kind of artist-controlled output that became increasingly common as independent infrastructure matured in the late 2000s. The label designation suggests the band operated with a degree of autonomy over this particular release.
At a combined running time of roughly eight and a half minutes across both sides, the single is a compact document of where Metric placed themselves sonically in 2009. Collectors and researchers interested in the band's catalog will find this release documented under catalog number MET80018, a reference point for tracking pressings and variants within standard discographic practice.
