Finch Band • Page 13

Listening to Oblivion for the first time since... 2014? WOW it's been a while

 

I don't think their acoustic album gets the love it deserves. That version of Stay With Me is probably my favorite.

 

Half killer, half filler

 

I love PHANTASMA so much and I think it had potential to stand next to SHTS. However, the two songs (Monuments and These Buildings Are Burning) the band worked with a ghostwriter on - I was not a fan of at all.

 

Listening to PHANTASMA now. Bless Nate for releasing this as a goodbye gift

 

Wow, didn't know they worked with a ghost writer, interesting.

 

Have you watched the interview with Nate where he explains why they broke up for the third time? Pretty much the label asked them to use a ghostwriter, which they did (and Nate was not happy about it), and those two songs were the results. The label wasn't even stoked on it in the end so it ended up being a useless endeavor lol

 

I still use CDs in my car and this is my Finch mix in there. I tried to mix it up with their best across their discography:

Insomniatic Meat
Reduced to Teeth
Black Mess
New Beginnings
What It is to Burn
From Hell
Perfection Through Silence
Contra
Grey Matter
Hail to the Fire
Chinese Organ Thieves
Worms of the Earth
Untitled
Bitemarks and Bloodstains
Stay With Me (Acoustic)
Bury White
A Piece of Mind
Three Simple Words
Ender

 

Link?

 

The interviewers are slightly annoying but it's a really insightful interview with Nate.

 

Yeah I mean, labelling asking for ghostwriter, then passing on songs with ghostwriter, that's a big hit.

And yeah, interviewers were a little annoying lol.

 

They changed their FB banner to SHTS artwork... Tour PLEASE

 

Oh my god a SHTS 15th anniversary tour next year would be life changing.

Still love that album so much. They are in the same club as Matchbook Romance and Boys Night Out for "bands whose debut albums didn't age very well but came back with amazing sophomore efforts"

 

Even if they come to NYC I'd make the trip there.

And Matchbook... Voices is half full of amazing songs but it doesn't all click for me. Gonna revisit tonight i think

 

I fucking cherish Voices and I never even like their debut record to begin with.

Voices has aged very well and I still get goosebumps listening to Goody Like My Two Shoes and Monsters.

 

Surrender, My Mannequin Can Dance, Portrait...so many classics on that album.

Also I almost added Armor For Sleep to that group except I still enjoy their debut, WTDWYAD is just on another level.

 

Oh WTDWYAD is still one of my all time favorite records. I still play it pretty often and happily own it on vinyl.

 

Awesome. I would even be down for a vinyl Repress that includes all the bonus tracks.

 

Well...

 

Are they really gonna try to come back again lol... I adore this band, but it’s getting a little ridiculous

 

yeah

 

Don’t they hate each other?

 

they always end up hating each other. then they make up. then they hate each other. rinse & repeat

 

Oh my god you cannot be serious lmao, I mean I'm always gonna be for more Finch but woooooooooow
