Finch Band

Finch was an American post-hardcore band from Temecula, California. The band released an EP Falling Into Place and two full-length albums, What It Is to Burn and Say Hello to Sunshine before declaring a hiatus in 2006. Finch reformed in 2007, playing a reunion show on November 23 at the Glasshouse in Pomona, California. They released a self-titled EP a year later, and were in the process of writing their third studio album when they disbanded in late 2010. After playing a group of shows commemorating the ten-year anniversary of What It Is to Burn in 2012, Finch signed with Razor & Tie in 2014 and revealed that they were working on a new studio album. The album was titled Back to Oblivion and released on September 30, 2014.

 

Nate posted these raw tracks from their unreleased album today.

9 tracks, awesome!

 

They're actually really good!

 

Interesting that these were posted the same day as the new band's debut single... these were going to be the follow-up to their last album?

 

Damn, I suspected this...

 

Yea...it's really unfortunate.

 

"This is my only outlet to 'speak the truth'"

Does NOT sound like an amicable breakup with that shot at the new band's name...

 

Oh yea, it sounds super messy. I'm wondering if and when Randy will have anything to say.

 

This is one of those bands that just wasn't meant to be together for long huh...

 

They've been so on and off again for how long now...I guess you can say they've been like that from the start, but damn did they put out some good shit.

 

they finished a whole album a few years ago that got abandoned when they split up. then they reformed and started from scratch. anyone know if the world of violence album ever made it to the web?

 

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it was only 2 or 3 tracks.

 

damn. those tracks and the demo album was really promising too. preferred it to what came after.

 

The raw demos sounded super promising :( So bummed they broke up again.

 

Where in the world is Randy?

 

Sad they broke up again man!

I think I have the original World Of Violance album from one of the band members somewhere need to dig that out.

 

not even the demos? the finished product?

 

Completely forgot about this band.

What It Is To Burn was released 14 1/2 years ago. I officially feel old.

 

It was the demos for sure it came in a zip with notes from one of the band members listing the songs along with notes. I guess for the other members to pick up so by no means finished.

Not sure if I have the notes bit anymore but definitely got the files.

 

I didn't even realize they were still together before I just found out they broke up ha. In fact, I just went back and started listening to Back To Oblivion again. I definitely like it more than I did when it was first released.

- which band member wrote that post?

Can't tell if the "speak the truth" bit was sarcasm or real.

Also, I didn't know Nate was involved in another project, Private Lives. Anyone listened to it? I plan on checking it out later this evening. Is there any more material than the three tracks on their bandcamp?

Can someone post a link to those demos? I don't have an instagram so I can't go into that post and click on the link.

 

i have the world of violence demos but when they split up they said something along the lines of the album is actually finished and ready to be released, but because they split up they didnt bother releasing it. demos are great and i bet the finished thing was awesome.

 

The post was from Nate's Instagram. If you're referring to their most recent demos I've posted them further up on the page.

 

Didn't know that I thought the demos were the last point they got to.

They should definitely release a huge b-side and rarities cd/s.
