Grow Up and Blow Away was the first recorded album by indie rock band Metric. The album was recorded in 2002, but delayed for years by their record label. As the years passed, the band's sound changed to the point where they no longer felt the album would be what the fans expected to hear, so Metric recorded a completely new album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, and released that instead. Grow Up and Blow Away is widely available as an Internet download. Recently Last Gang Records purchased the rights to it and planned a release for 2007.
