NEW YORK (PIX11) — Grammy Award-winning indie rock group Vampire Weekend is the latest band to be featured on the MTA’s MetroCard.

The MetroCards, created in collaboration with Columbia Records, support the band’s latest studio effort, “Only God Was Above Us.” The MTA will produce 60,000 MetroCards, which will be available at select subway stations in Manhattan.

On Thursday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced it would only create two more “collectible MetroCards.” The Vampire Weekend commemorative release is not one of the final two limited-edition MetroCards, officials said.
