Finch - Finch [EP]
 

Finch is the new self-titled EP from the LA Screamo rockers. This is their first release since their 2005 album Say Hello To Sunshine and since leaving their old label Drive Through Records. This is a very welcome return and this release does not disappoint. There is a kicking combination of power, melodies and energy. The chorus’s will have everyone singing and dancing along.

There isn’t a bad track on this cd, which makes the transition from start to finish as smooth as something very, very smooth. The cd comes in at just under 20 minutes and is only 4 tracks long, which is a little short. It has been a few years since the last release and this was definitely in need, but I wonder if they had just taken a few more months on this, if they would have been able to push out a full release. But hopefully with this being the newly set benchmark, the follow up will be a corker and a well desired return to form.

With some heavy touring ahead, this EP is going to get the push it needs to get finch back up there where they belong, with bands like Funeral For a Friend, Alexisonfire and Thursday. This EP is the whole package and will not disappoint on any front. Catchy vocals, great riffs, powerful melodies and some great dynamics make this EP one for the collection.
