Finch

I'm obsessing over What It Is To Burn, right now.

Specifically, "Letters to You" and "Without You Here".

I don't really get the pop punk allegations towards them.

Finch are a great band. They really don't get enough credit. They're also amazing live, I just saw them this past February and I heard a lot of rumors about how they weren't that good live, but they were amazing.

i'll hopefully get to find out at warped tour. and possibly the 89x b-day bash, but seeing both concerts would be fairly expensive in canadian $.

Finch are great on CD but just dont cut it live.

I like Finch. I jumped on their bandwagon back when their first EP came out. God bless stupid flash intros on websites. I never would have found out Finch, Koufax, or Elliott without them.

I don't know, I think people expect to hear the same thing they hear on the album, when they're determining whether or not a band is up to par live. Our Lady Peace are by far the worst of my favorite bands, live, by that definition.. but the passion is what makes up for it, the whole OLP live experience.

Tool, though, they're perfect in every way. Sounds as tight as the album, plus it's completely a spiritual experience. No other way to describe it.

One of my friends turned me onto them. I'm not an obsessed fan but I'll probably buy their CD soon because I like them a lot.

Finch is GOOD...i love What It Is To Burn, Untitled, Letters to You, and Ender..good cd...except i think i would have liked it more if i hadn't known so many songs before i got the album...if that makes any sense...i like to be surprised

Weird .. I just heard a song of theirs on the radio today and liked it .. first I'd really heard of them .. no clue what song I heard but it was good :nod:

^ = "what it is to burn"

I used to like it a lot before it got too overplayed. I'm kicking myself for not buying the ataris' new one, or all american rejects cause it was 10$ today

not impressed with finch. another screamo band

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 4/10/2003, 10:01 pm

You know, there are good "screamo" bands out there. Well, Glassjaw, and I suppose Finch would work for me.

Finch's lyrics blow. I feel that I can write better than them, and honestly, it's sad, because I am not a great writer, at all.

i hate screaming

it ruins songs

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 4/10/2003, 10:16 pm

What about Matt screaming in Goodbye Forever?

committed · Post by **committed** » 4/10/2003, 10:20 pm

i hear no screaming

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 4/10/2003, 10:22 pm

I assumed the second chorus was pure screaming by Matt.

committed · Post by **committed** » 4/10/2003, 10:25 pm

belting maybe.

screaming is that shit in songs like the greatest fall by matchbook romance which is a terrible song by a terrible band that sounds exactly like many other terrible bands
