Finch (Official Thread)

[xtheaudition]

these guys need their own thread! so i made one.

ive been rocking what it is to burn & say hello to sunshine all day today!

i never liked sunhine but i think i just fell in love with it, its So different but good!

and anyone like thier new self-tiitled EP?

http://www.absolutepunk.net/geek/gars/images/2/1/1/0/1/1013.jpg

EDIT: you can download the ep here: http://www.officialfinch.com/store/free-ep/

i thought it was awesome! a lil bit of a mix of both of thier old full lengths. and does anyone know any news on an upcoming album/tour?

[ThisIsNotDan]

*obligatory "Say Hello To Sunshine wasn't nearly as bad as people say it was" post*

[xtheaudition]

everyone told me they didnt like it, but they listened to mostly teeny bopper sutff so thats why they never got it? i just rocked it the past couple days and wow its pretty sweet imo.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Holy fuck... I was just looking through all my old Finch pix looking for a new avatar...

Seeing them twice in the next two weeks. Cannot wait as the last time I saw them was @ the SHTS CD-Release show at Ground Zero years back.

Seen them sooooooo many times... They need to play Temecula again as it has been WAY too long since they've done so (I think it was at The Stampede in Nov of 2002... and I was at Disneyland that day).

Love them.

[xtheaudition]

thats a random picture haha but yah ive never seen finch live so i am jealous

but i love this live pic of them, i have it on my myspace.

http://i42.tinypic.com/hvpg1d.jpg

[SilenceBrokenTT]

lol it's way old from their demo days... It went along with this image they also put out.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2prb5o0.jpg

Man I miss high school... older brother had a couple classes with R2K and I had a class with his younger brother one year, lol. He came into my work one time and asked for the seeds in the tomato's to be taken out, lol. So weird.

[xtheaudition]

r2k is one weird dude hahaha i wonder if he still does finchs graphics for thier t's and what not.

[Burn That Shit]

SHE BURRRNNNNNSSSSSS

x

[Volo]

What It Is to Burn was one of a handful of albums that got me through high school. Shit was so cash.

[devint1990]

What It Is To Burn reminds me of jr. high. Probably one of the first legit cds I owned.

[xtheaudition]

plus it had one of the sickest albums covers i thought

http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/1/0/8/3/Cover_What_It_I_300RGB.jpg

[MickShamrock]

Loved Say Hello To Sunshine. Self-titled ep was pretty good too. Looking forward to next album, whenever that comes.

[xtheaudition]

yeah does anyone know when its supposed to drop?

[SickOfStars]

plus it had one of the sickest albums covers i thought

http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/1/0/8/3/Cover_What_It_I_300RGB.jpg

seriously, it made ice cubes look so epic. not even being sarcastic.

[xtheaudition]

seriously, it made ice cubes look so epic. not even being sarcastic.
i know right! haha whatd you think of this album cover?

http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/1/0/8/3/albumcover_467471.jpg

[SickOfStars]

pukey album art, but I didn't mind a lot of tracks off of it.

[xtheaudition]

yeah i am listening to it now. 'Reduced To Teeth' is on now.

[deanster321]

Can't say I particularly like a lot of their artwork. Good band though.

[xtheaudition]

i wanna go to this show, i havent seen halifax in awhile or finch ever!

sucks its out on the west coast tho..

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/65/l_66c257f53c774d8c8437afe1667b8332. jpg

[SilenceBrokenTT]

I'm seeing them on Thursday headlining at some small club in Scottsdale... can't wait. I'm sure they'll play some new tunes/maybe have some news on a release frame.

[deanster321]

I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling they might end up like Glassjaw in regards to releasing stuff.

[xtheaudition]

take some pics and meet r2k for me! haha

[Naenia]

I'm feeling the new demo they just put up more than the self titled EP ... anyone else finding this?

[deanster321]

It reminds me of From Hell/whatever it's called now.

[xtheaudition]

new demo up!

Hail To The Fire!

listen now! http://www.myspace.com/finchmusic

[xtheaudition]

I'm feeling the new demo they just put up more than the self titled EP ... anyone else finding this?
really??? i dunno man, new demo is sick, but that ep was sick too! haha i think its a sick demo though, would love to hear it fully recorded and mastered.

[Burn That Shit]

Interesting demo, hoping they don't turn into Circa Survive.

[Heroin Robot]

Anyone follow them on modlife lol? I'm curious if they are signed?

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Still un-signed.

[StriketheMartyr]

say hello was great, but im sorry what it is to burn is completely unbeatable. that was the only album i listened to for an entire year straight (pretty much)

[aoftbsten]

Say hello is my favorite,

[xtheaudition]

i thought they were signed? but i guess they put thier ep out on thier own?

[Bloodsucker II]

their EP is is great. sooooo when is the full length coming out?

[hamish.]

'What it is to Burn' was decent. 'Say Hello to Sunshine' was horrible. Band should have stayed broken up.

[Naenia]

I can never even comprehend why people think Say Hello To Sunshine was so bad, it's one of my favorite albums of all time.

[littlebeav]

say hello was great, but im sorry what it is to burn is completely unbeatable. that was the only album i listened to for an entire year straight (pretty much)

I still listen to it pretty much at least once a month. Sometimes more. Fucking great CD.

[xtheaudition]

I can never even comprehend why people think Say Hello To Sunshine was so bad, it's one of my favorite albums of all time.

yeah dood, it's defintly growing on me, i wouldent mind owning the cd, i wonder if its still in storeS?

[JunBringer]

I can never even comprehend why people think Say Hello To Sunshine was so bad, it's one of my favorite albums of all time.
Probably because its so different compared to their past material. It doesn't have the pop simplicity to it.

[xtheaudition]

they need a new music video off their new ep, thatd be sweet!

[Naenia]

yeah dood, it's defintly growing on me, i wouldent mind owning the cd, i wonder if its still in storeS?
I don't see why it wouldn't be. I adore the artwork on that CD too, again, probably my favorite artwork.

[1251]

i've only really heard what it's like to burn... what are some other tracks i should check out?

[xtheaudition]

i've only really heard what it's like to burn... what are some other tracks i should check out?
check out 'daylight', 'from hell', 'ink', 'waiting' & 'Insomniatic Meat'

FREE FINCH EP HERE!: http://www.officialfinch.com/store/free-ep/

Why the eff won't Apple Lossless or WAV work? I don't want this compressed crap... And by that I also mean to say thank you for the link and direct that question regarding the sound quality of files to the mods of their site!?!

[xtheaudition]

the ep downloaded fine for me in the zipped folder, i had the ep, i just wanted to see what was extra, it was a digital booklet!

[zonto]

I downloaded the mp3 version, I'm just saying that the links for the WAV files and the Apple Lossless files don't work. I sent the mods of the site an email to let them know.

Basically those are the original, uncompressed, lossless files from which the mp3/aac compressed files are made and therefore better quality. :)

[zonto]

Links are fixed for the lossless files. Site admin just emailed me!

:) You're all welcome.

[Naenia]

[Burn That Shit]

Yup, I saw them a long time ago, like 2003, in Chicago. My sister's friend's band opened for them, it was neat.

Haha, I've never seen TSL but I'm sure they had a good set. I'm seeing Person L with Ace Enders in a couple days though, should be neat.

[xtheaudition]

My vid... was shot with a regular digi cam so sorry about the quality of the sound. The new version of the camera has stereo sound, which would've helped greatly. Heard them play it about 3 times while practicing, sounds so good. They'll be playing that tomorrow, as well as Hail To The Fire and possibly another one out in Hollywood.

[SophGod]

Bitemarks and Bloodstains is still one of my favorite songs ever, I remember the day i got that album on my 13th birthday. looking forward to this release.

[aoftbsten]

I love the demos instrumentally, but they seriously need a massive change in the lyrics on these demos. Overall though I love them, this has potential.

just out of curiosity, has anyone seen Finch on the Atticus Tour?
and if so, which album have the majority of the songs played been from?

thanks! :)

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Ran into Randy at Six Flags Magic Mountain today... was just walking near GoldRusher and spotted him so called out "R2K!" and sure enough it really was him, with his girlfriend. We talked for a bit, and the coolest thing was how he remembered my name, lol... anywho, didn't really talk about any new material, just how the Temecula show was the other day and how the lines are/were, lol.

[xtheaudition]

i have still yet to see finch live.

[Geuge]

Can someone PM me a link for those new demos? Demonoid has them, but the site keeps going down

[xtheaudition]

i know i sent them around on last.fm if you have an account there.

[Xlll]

I was lucky enough to catch them at the Glass House. It was a sick show. Got to hang out with Alex, R2K and Nate, Theyre freakin great guys.

In regards to what albums they played from, I'd have to say it was a little bit of everything. They did play a bunch of WIITB, and Say Hello, but they did give us some great stuff from the EP and Hail to the Fire from their Demos (Posted on their Myspace)

I did ask R2k about the new material, (drunk interview) he told me that it's going to be completely different from Say Hello and their previously released work. Though you can def. hear the connections to Say Hello, I'd say that Finch as a band is going to keep on truckin, making music their way. Which, So far, I really love. Damn. I really wish I could remember more from that night... I just remember getting really wasted with the guys, and then Nate signing my friend's car... and eating King Taco... Great Night!!:-d

[danielineffigy]

I drove three hours to see the reunion tour. I always loved this band and when they broke up before I got to see them I was so pissed I never saw them. Can't wait for the new album, I have faith it'll be great.

[xtheaudition]

i still haven't seen them!

[Clark]

These guys have been really quiet since they released the EP. When's their new full-length coming?

[aradiantsunrise]

I have a feeling that there isn't going to be another full length.

[GreenDayStinks!]

I love this band!!

[Mattylikesfilms]

I have a feeling that there isn't going to be another full length.

came in here to say this.

[xtheaudition]

I have a feeling that there isn't going to be another full length.
why you say that?

[aoftbsten]

I have a feeling that there isn't going to be another full length.

They've been really quiet ever since the leak. I wonder if they decided to scrap that stuff and start over.

[xtheaudition]

Famine or Disease?

[aradiantsunrise]

came in here to say this.

why you say that?

They've been really quiet ever since the leak. I wonder if they decided to scrap that stuff and start over.

That and there has been no updates whatsoever. I'm sure people would easily be able to find out if they were recording or not.

[JoeFCC]

My first band in high school did a bunch of cover songs (terribly) from these guys. I love the new stuff. I wish they would play more songs off there first full length live.

[Mattylikesfilms]

That and there has been no updates whatsoever. I'm sure people would easily be able to find out if they were recording or not.

someone should do that and report back here :-)

[aradiantsunrise]

im glad.

[marchofmarty]

thought some dude said that Nate was sick of Finch again and they were just going to fade away into obscurity?

also I found out a few weeks ago that there is a mastered version of "Hail to the Fire". song is fucking sick and if there is going to be a new album eventually it is going to kill.

[LetterBomb31]

Finch are such an amazing band. I've been listening to their music all day. They seriously need to give an update as to whether or not they are actually making their 3rd album.

[aoftbsten]

Yea, i dunno what happened there. It leaked and they just disappeared.

[LetterBomb31]

It sucks because I think they are a band that would just keep getting better and better.

[Mario57]

Seriously, it's been too long since their last release...

[LetterBomb31]

Has anyone else noticed the lyrics in Grey Matter that go 'Would I bite my tongue and live with what you've done?' connect with the lyrics from the song Ink that go 'I've bit my lip for the last time.'

I know its a loose connection but I thought it was kinda cool haha. ;-)

[karadotcollett]

so what is going on with this 3rd album?

[LetterBomb31]

Apparently they are still in the process of making it but I'm pretty sure they have been doing so for 2 years?! That can't be right. Something must have gone wrong for them haha.

[karadotcollett]

well, glassJAw has been making theirs for about 9 years so it's not that bad

[ManInMusicBox]

*obligatory "Say Hello To Sunshine wasn't nearly as bad as people say it was" post*
not really 'bad' but just...bland? they actually go down as the worst band i have seen live. it was their 'hello to sunshine' tour and they played sacramento, pre-release of the CD. They only played 2 songs from 'what it is to burn' and they even fucked with the crowd and started the guitar to 'perfection through silence' only to stop and then laugh....i was extremely pissed.

[LetterBomb31]

I thought Say Hello To Sunshine was a great record.

[Mario57]

Aside from A Piece Of Mind and A Man Alone, it was a great and consistent album.

[TragedyofMariam]

i'm dying to hear what's going on with these guys

hey can i get that track too? and the cover that was on the split ep too if you have it, thanks a ton

[marchofmarty]

I don't have the cover anymore. I can send you HttF though.

Also, it seems like sharpeningbeneath.com and Finch's official website are both down. My guess would be they are done for good this time.

edit: sent

[griffinknight91]

dang that really sucks, i loved them

does anyone know a mediafire link to this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LxzJ4y_dB8

Figures. It really sucks hard for these guys. All they needed was one of the bands from the scene back then to take them out on tour and I think they'd have done well again. I can see why they're done though, who wants to tour with the shit they were?

Yeah I kind of thought a band like Senses Fail would have taken them on tour. They both released new stuff in '08 and were both apart of that early 2000s Drive-Thru era, and drew a lot of similarities. Don't blame them for fading into obscurity for having to tour with bands like Of Mice and Men and Drop Dead, Gorgeous.

[griffinknight91]

nate should be the new singer of Saosin, that could be very awesome and itd make Saosin legit again

[icantdecide]

God damnit, this band needs to do something. Say Hello to Sunshine is still one of my favorite albums.

[skibby15]

and they've officially broken up

[aradiantsunrise]

Sad.

[LetterBomb31]

These guys were one of my favourite bands when I was 14/15. It sucks that they've broken up. They have two new songs to download, which is cool:

http://finchmusic.bandcamp.com/

[Paulb-182]

R.I.P

Once a great band. Would have been nice to see all the bands who rode their coattails to the top help them out on tour once they'd come back. Sad to see them go with such a collective shrug.

[icantdecide]

This sucks, but I can't say I'm shocked.

[Mario57]

I would like to hear these other mastered tracks.
Souls For Sales, Calamity At Sea, Christine and Remember Me were really promising.

[Sean Rizzo]

Can someone help me find the ep re-release?

i can't believe they broke up! ive waited soooo long. :(

[LetterBomb31]

A fan on Twitter asked Randy if he knows what Nate is doing, and he replied 'No, not at all. Sorry :('. They obviously aren't friends anymore.

[maxswellrevenge]

i just downloaded A Far Cry From Home - Tokyo 2009
i didn't even know they had a live album! it's great so far!

That was so poorly recorded, it sounds like someone just downloaded the audio from a fan's video on Youtube of them playing live. I can't believe I payed 7.99 for that crap.

really? i thought it sounded fine! i just downloaded it for free, i'd never pay for live audio. especially since they've broken up too.

If you compare it to other live albums, the sound quality is really poor. I bought it when they were still together haha.

http://finchmusic.bandcamp.com/album/a-far-cry-from-home-live-in-tokyo-2009

i guess its not that great of quality, ive only listened to it once so far. i dont listen to much live audio stuff. blinks live album & green days are about it & their bigger so id expect them to have better quality. finch was never that big & it wasn't even a hometown show let alone in the usa.. i mean Tokyo??

[maxswellrevenge]

oh, & on a side note. they look great on vevo! no more user uploaded crappy quality music videos! :-d

[theguy77]

"Ink" is a guilty pleasure scene music song of mine.

[LetterBomb31]

I wonder what happened to Nate Barcalow. I always thought he was a really good vocalist, hopefully he'll start a new band or something.

[maxswellrevenge]

i have no idea if he's in a new band er anything!

[FinchFan5000]

Nate Barcalow of Finch has a new band!

They will be playing a show on June 18th at 8 p.m. in Carlsbad, CA.

The venue is called Hensley's Flying Elephant Pub.

Get there early Nate's band plays first!

His new band is amazing, they are playing under the name Earthbound Ghost.

Come support your favorite singer!

I can't wait to hear what they sound like.

[HogarthHughes]

I'm listening to WIITB for the first time in ages tonight. I've got such great memories associated with that album. I actually enjoyed Say Hello To Sunshine quite a bit when it was released as well. I haven't listened to it in years.

[Mario57]

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Seriously, whoever is in charge of the music on the Dan Patrick show loves Finch... today after the KD interview (on iTunes, the third hour of the podcast) they come out of the commercial break playing New Beginnings. Previously they've played Perfection and WIITB clips.

[Shinkicker]

'What it is to Burn' is an amazing song. Gets me bouncing off the ceiling everytime. Awesome music

[firefoxussr]

Hey this is a shot in the dark, does anyone have the video/mp3 of 'A Man Alone' done acoustic? It was posted on sharpeningbeneath.com or screamingmore.com at one time. I've since lost my copy! I could be wrong on the song, but it was def a Sunshine song... and they added that "one more time..." from Psilocybin to the song.

I'll happily gift you $$ as a thanks.


NM.... i found it. If someone has a better copy I'd appreciate it--- this is 128kbps MONO 22khz (yuck). Apparently it was from screamingmore.com, anyone know the person who ran the site?

enjoy... it's a country-fied version too.

[Stoneable]

I miss this band. They put out two perfect records.

[Mario57]

i think their final EP seems to become my favorite release as time flies. From Hell is such a tune.

and wow, i'd never heard this demo before :

UHgbGRoeVZw&feature=relmfu

also, just quoting what is supposed to be their last interview ever, such a great read :
http://www.binaural.es/entrevista/finch-randy-strohmeyer-last-interview-ultima-entrevista-2011/

What happened exactly with the third album? In 2009 some of us had some hope to finally hear it, but it finally didnt appear.
It just got increasingly hard to write the songs that we felt we owed to ourselves. We weren’t hitting and magic moments. Nothing we were writing felt like we were having a break though. We have incredibly high standards and were not going to put something out we were not proud of. It would have been a slap in the face to us and our fans if we would have put the songs that leaked on that demo on a record. BTW, I don’t know how or who leaked that shit, but that is an embarrassment. Those songs do not represent in anyway what the third Finch album was going to be like.
