About Me

Go Metric is a magazine that has been covering music, movies, and humor since 1995. Like a lot of 11-year-olds, we're shy so we'll let other people do the rest of the talking-----"Irreverent and eclectic, it's a sleeping giant among zines" (Punk Planet)-----"Most likely my favorite zine ever...Don't consider your bathroom complete without at least one issue bowlside. Your guests will thank you." (Razorcake)-----"It really pisses me off that you have so many great ideas. Can I steal them?" (Henry Owings, Chunklet)
