Alright, you win this time.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

yes!
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

I love Finch, and I think they're great live as well. Lyrics arent the best, but its just good music. I dont think they ruin it by screaming because its done tastefully (if thats possible). I usually dont like screaming either, but I dont mind it at all in their songs. Oh well, at least its not emo =)

If you people like screaming, look at Glassjaw. You will not be disappointed. Or just fuck screaming and listen to Alkaline Trio and Koufax, they're much better.

i actually just got their cd the other day.. finally. love it. i don't really mind if they have bad lyrics, i still like the music anyway. especially "ender", "three simple words" and "without you here."

the screaming's good. it's not the annoying and inappropriately-placed kind. not to me, anyway.

I agree, I'm not a huge fan of screaming either, but with Finch... it's just good. Download "New Kid" and "Waiting" from their earlier EP. No screaming what-so-ever, and they're amazing.
