'Finch' is a rock band from Temecula, California, USA. They are signed to the major label Geffen. The band was formely part of Drive Thru Records which was once a sub-label on MCA Records, which was then bought out by Geffen.
The band were formed in the late '90's. Starting out as entirely different band called 'Numb', they added Randy to the fold, re-named themselves 'Finch' and changed tunings from B# to D Flat. Their EP Falling Into Place sold over 6,000 copies only months after being released.
In August/September 2001, the band entered the studio up at Big Fish studio in Encinitas, CA to begin working on its first full length, What it is to Burn. It was produced by Mark Trombino, who's work had been Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182 (Randy Strohmeyer's, at the time, favourite band), Midtown and many others. After touring extensivly (2 years) in support of this CD, Finch contributed a new song "Worms Of The Earth" to the motion picture Underworld soundtrack in 2003, that track was also included on "Atticus Clothing's... Dragging The Lake 2". It signalled a taste of things to come for Finch's music. Following this was a lengthy departure from the public eye, which developed into trying times for the band. Mark Trombino was fired as the producer of the new album, founding drummer Alex Pappas left the band due to musical differences, and pressure was coming down from the label to hurry up and get the album finished. Eventually Finch found their producer, Jason Cupp.
Finch finally released their highly anticipated sophomore effort Say Hello To Sunshine on June 7, 2005. It's rumoured that a new album will be worked some time next year, despite only just releasing SHTS.
