My sophomore year of High School i stumbled across this in a store, and purchased it on a whim simply because it was being put out by Drive-Thru Records. Possibly the best random purchase of my young life. At the time, a very unique punk band that used its rock influence and blended it with electronic mixing, screaming lines, and heavy guitar riffs to fill young hearts with blood. When your 16 you find yourself a little susceptible to emotionally charged lyrics, angry guitars, and star crossed songs about love gone wrong. Finch might have been the soundtrack to my high school years, but who didn't suffer for love at that age? So to those who can look back and remember the one that got away, or got busy, or just should have got stabbed THIS RECORD IS FOR YOU MY FRIEND!
Granted, now in the year 2009 this record has been made and remade by a million bands boasting the names that start with Boys Liking Something or Other and The Anything Anybody's. BUT this record will always have my vote of confidence, simply because for me they did it first.

sounds like: From First to Last, The Messenger, Scary Kids Scaring Kids

Bump.
