FINCH Demos (2015) Track 1 - Contra

Contra

So much says the world
Sell the rights to your kin
Sickened by the sway of the ship
I'll find my own way in

I won't trade always
For what's new
Sell me something beautiful

Hold your rank
Your condition failing
This look on your face
When then take it away
There's demons at your door
There's a fire in the hull
The crowd rumbles to a roar

Sink your sorrow
Faintly hollow
(oh no, but anyway)
Wager mercy
Hang your clergy
(oh no, but anyway)

The crazy part is these are just demos. To hear these songs fully mixed and mastered would cause me to shit my pants two or three times

[acezack]

Now that you guys are touring again, it would be amazing if you guys decided to pull a Sum 41 and officially release all of the songs you guys were recording.

[GatlingOnline]

This is fantastic. About 10x better than that 'Speak the Truth' song. This reminds me of something off Say Hello to Sunshine, which was far and away Finch's best record.

[cpyimitatin]

Say Hello to Sunshine is one of the greatest records of all time! The emotion that album portrays is second to none. I actually got the house from the album cover tattooed on my forearm.

[miggybassfreak]

Nate, fuck those sell outs. This shit sound boss man.

[robbay]

What a damn shame...
But Nate. Don't forget, you always were the talent in finch. Private lives will be amazing as long as you keep true to yourself.

[firefoxussr]

please add these and the 2009 demos in lossless to bandcamp. that would be greaaat....

[Hutchino]

Always behind you Nate, just read the status the rest of the band posted about you quitting and whatever the issues within the band I've always prefered the style you've clearly tried to put out there over their preferences. Much more interesting and unique! Keep at it dude you're a huge influence to me!

[gone-sovereign]

Hey, Nate. I haven't given these demos a listen yet, I'll get around to it. If it's any consolation, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you were made the victim in lieu of this breakup. You had a good point; after Finch went on hiatus, came back, broke up, came back again and then broke up again, there's no point in prolonging the inevitable. I loved your more artistic and experimental approach to Finch's sound, and if you decide to start a new band, hopefully you'll continue to build upon that styling. I'll be one of the first ones to listen to it. ;)

[pielcee]

Soooo, anyone else thinks that it's a bit weird that Nate released these songs YESTERDAY, and finch released other songs today while at the same time saying that Nate dropped finch? what the fuck is going on?

[realbeetlejuice]

ILU Nate you're my fav vocalist. :( <3

[posthardcoresinger]

this sounds like you were onto something fucking fantastic. Maybe it's wrong of me to keep hoping for a say hello #2 because you guys have all changed but you keep getting so close to a full release of something amazing and toying with my emotions between cosmonaut, some of your pre-2nd reunion soundcloud stuff and now these demos.

Nothing to feel bad about though dude just keep writing music with whoever you can. Thanks for the demos.

[kage]

figures...finch were going back to their cool experimental post hardcore sound pushing forward and they break up again :( I was hoping that new speak the truth project would be a bit more akin to this, stuff on the glassjaw side of 2002...instead we got dime a dozen drivethrucore. maybe their other songs will be cooler, who knows, I'll be jamming this

[MrZnel]

This is so much better than 'Monuments'. This is one of the sickest Finch songs ever. I don't blame you for not wanting to work with that 'producer'

[cobrawade]

This is the FINCH I love. You've got to make these available somehow....

[draven]

Would have loved to have heard the finished album :'( Saw you guys at KOKO in london last year, you guys were amazing and put on an amazing show! My friend got kicked in the head by some idiot stage diving. One of the best shows i've been too! I got to meet alex, shame I didn't get to meet you!

[djrubyjay]

I picture you creeping around the stage performing this life and it's a great performance ... Glad I got to see you all together thew few times you made it to Toronto Canada .. Continued support whatever you do

[andydufresne]

Please just master these and release it, the hard parts already done. I don’t get why they’re not putting it out there it’s so much better than BTO in my opinion

[infoxicate]

THIS IS GREAT!
I need these tracks to bump in my car.

THIS tickles my brain in the best way. The hard part is getting those without a brain to understand how good this stuff is.

[joesmo]

I love this track thank you for releasing these. Amazing stuff
