We've had this debate every so often for... ever. Which is the best Finch album? Is it the 2002 breakthrough debut, What It Is To Burn or is it 20052s beginning of the end, Say Hello To Sunshine ? That's the question. They're your only options. Obviously, it's entirely subjective because it's all down to personal preference and this is only being pointed out so whichever sensible person comes along and says it's all down to personal preference can STFU and GTFO LOL. But that's the point of a poll - to find [...]
La prima settimana di gennaio è con alto tasso di probabilità il periodo peggiore dell'anno. La motivazione potrebbe risiedere nelle sole due parole 'buoni propositi', perchè volenti o nolenti quei dieci minuti minimo a testa in su a pensare ad ipotetici piani di riuscita e/o analisi degli anni precedenti arrivano per tutti, e quando ci si trova lì in mezzo non si riesce a fare una scelta. Per me l'ago della bilancia pende e ha sempre peso soprattutto verso la seconda opzione, cosa che si è fatta notare anche nelle scelte musicali da proto bimbominkia con le palle girate. [...]
Short Films by Devin Finch is a post from Indie Houston - Music - Technology - Press - Independent - Media - Houston, Texas An appropriate title for a post, considering: 1. he does comics(featured on Vice ) 2. has the best internet show no one has jumped on yet 3. does some killer youtube dance music videos called Adultry Kidding and best of all, he's from Houston, Texas. [...]
Ghibli -Societal Finches To say Thomas Michael chops and screws thing is a gross understatement. The dude with two first names from Edmonton, Canada breaks down elegance, sculpts it to his likings, then pieces it back together into hyper-driven dreamscapes. A lot of the time music is like the Societal Finches , they're kept inside of a cage not knowing anything else other than what is within ear shot or their eye sight, this is not the case. You can pick up and stream the full length album today either [...]
Ghibli es el entrañable alias de Thomas Michael, ex componente de Jaded Hypster Choir y otro más de los nuevos artesanos del cut&paste dream-wave. Pero, a diferencia del resto de sus compañeros de tijera, Thomas se preocupa más por conseguir texturas clásicas, que retrotraigan nostalgia y calidez a partes iguales. Su nuevo E.P. autoeditado así [...]

Darwins Finches Live & Escatones 2011 US Tour Begins: From Texas to Michigan is a post from Indie Houston - Music - Technology - Press - Independent - Media - Houston, Texas Here is why it is okay to let your 6yr old child do mushrooms and dance to surf rock: Darwins Finches embark on a journey from Galveston, Texas to Michigan playing 15 shows with the Escatones. We first met Darwins Finches after they played a benefit show for Hurricane Ike. It also turned out that most of the band had also [...]

Today's 1000 Minutes post is one I've been debating for a little while. The eleven songs (Yes eleven, its a real bumper of a post) I'm including today are probably not what you'd call the 'coolest' of choices and who knows, I may even risk losing a few readers because of them. BUT as I kept reminding myself, this project is about me charting the songs that made an impact on my life, songs that I could never imagine not hearing again and songs that hold important memories. Now if I'm true to this idea, then I have to include [...]
THE FINCHES, KEY LOSERS, ALINA HARDIN ( Valentine's , 232 SW Ankeny) The winsome folk-pop of the Finches is sweet but never squeaky, relaxed but never drowsy. With their new release, On Golden Hill , the California band will gently wrap its cute little finch talons around your heart and fiercely refuse to let go. Get ready to fall in love, hard. NED LANNAMANN A complete listing of this week's shows can be viewed here . [...]
I sat down with Nick Nowell, lead singer of The Famine , a month ago to talk about their new album, The Architects of Guilt . The weekend prior, an assassination attempt on Gabrielle Giffords had occurred, and it dominated most of our pre-interview conversation and also bled into the interview itself. It was somewhat fitting as The Famine's new album is, in large, a statement of disgust of America's current political climate. The album is out now, and I can't recommend it enough. It's heavy, passionate and intelligent - everything a [...]
MP3: The Finches - The River in Edo MP3: The Finches - Natural History A lot has happened with the Finches since we last left them : half of the duo was gone, there was a name change and then they become 3 strong, then 1, then 3 strong once again. That catches us up to now, and we have "On Golden Hill", their follow up to 2007's "Human Like a House". It's been a few years, sure, but we've all kinda changed [...]
SEAN SOLOMON, THE FINCHES, THE DINING DEAD, AND OLD LUMPS ON WEDNESDAY JAN. 12TH AT THE SMELL, 247 SOUTH MAIN STREET. 9:00PM/ $5/ ALL AGES.
Finch are calling it quits… again. After coming back from a year long hiatus in 2007, the Temecula, CA-based screamo elder statesmen have taken to their official website to announce that they're hanging it up for good. They scored their biggest hit with 2002's What It Is to Burn and had been busy working on what would've been their third LP, but the pressure of trying to deliver the "best record [we have] ever made" was apparently too much for the five-piece to handle. "Over the past [...]
Finch Breaks Up Finch has broken up, but not without giving 2 new songs for free: [Dear Finch fans, Over the past two years we as a band have obsessed tirelessly trying to bring you the best record Finch has ever made. Blowing everything else out of the water was the only option. If we couldn't drop the bomb, we wouldn't blow it up. From the beginning what's always made up the sound of Finch was our ability to take our individual influences, no matter [...]

Sometimes you're lucky enough to come across a band that borrows a bit from a bunch of other groups you love. That seems to be the case with me and Helen Earth Band . The only reason I gave these guys a listen was because I read that the former drummer for Finch, a band that I was never really crazy about to begin with (except for "Letters For You", I'll love that song forever), was at the helm of this project. I was pleasantly surprised right at the onset of "(We All) Talk With Knives", the first single [...]
