Metro Music is the debut album by Canadian new wave band Martha and the Muffins. It was released in 1980 on the record label Dindisc. The album contains the single "Echo Beach", which became an international hit single for the band. The cover image design by Peter Saville is a map of Toronto, the band's hometown, and is based on a map from the National Topographic System of Canada. The entire Metro Music album also formed the first part of Martha and the Muffins' 1987 compilation Far Away in Time.

Echo Beach" is a song recorded by the Canadian group Martha and the Muffins in 1979. Written by band member Mark Gane, it was released as a single from their album Metro Music in 1980 and won the Juno Award for Single of the Year. It was certified gold in Canada on 1 October 1980, a month after Metro Music achieved gold status. It was the band's only significant international hit, although they had several others in Canada.

The inspiration was Sunnyside Beach on the shoreline of Lake Ontario in Toronto. Says Gane, "The lake and beach could have been in the middle of nowhere while the city behind became a 'surrealistic sight'. It reached in Canada and was the Canadian new wave band's only significant international hit, though they had several other hits in their homeland George from Vancouver, CanadaIt's quite possible there's a beach on Echo Lake in California & the song is inspired by it - most lakes called Echo Lake are situated deep in the mountains, thus the name. How peaceful would that be, once people got over hollering to make echoes, of course! George from Vancouver, CanadaKent: Only in Portugal?
