Finch - Say Hello to Sunshine
Say Hello to Sunshine Review
Naysayers of hard rock and metal describe the genre as bordering on one-directional, when the truth is that great hard music is so much more than that. An amalgamation of jazz rhythms, emotive metal-influenced vocals and strong instrumentation happens when the genre hits it just right. Finch contained all of those elements on their much-heralded full-length, What It Is To Burn, and the result created a nearly religious fan base; expectations have been high during the three year wait for their new disc Say Hello To Sunshine. The strongest tracks on this release are ultimately are the most jagged, from the opening guttural growl of "Insomniatic Meat" to tracks like "Fireflies" and "Miro" which shows the group's emo-core colors brightly. Their whisper-to-a-scream tendencies are all over the disc, as the group moves from mixed tempos with deep howls to straight-up belted-out choruses. There is an obvious System Of A Down-meets-Linkin Park reference that also can't be ignored. The lead single, "Bitemarks and Bloodstains," is deceptive--the disc is consistently harder than this song. In fact, the whole is much stronger than the single. --Denise Sheppard

Finch are a great band, and i've really only just discovered them and got into their music, however; this album is great to listen to if you like emo and the havier genre of rock. Although, personally i don't think Say Hello To Sushine is as good as What It Is To Burn, it is stil a great listen and has some tracks that you can't help mosh to!!

Anything that you have to try really, REALLY hard to listen to, isn't worth listening to in the first place. Metalcore gives me a headache. i hate you, finch.

The new Finch album doubles as a coming out party for a bunch of very unhappy boys as well as a nominee for my album of the year. After a few years of touring for their debut album, What it is to Burn, this band is really pissed off that they never got the same credit that their whiney brethren The Used got (who they incidentally toured with).
Say Hello to Sunshine is a blistering show of balls and guts for a band that wrote the pop-punk song "Letters to You." Singer Nate Barcalow is edgy and abrasive, screaming the words, "This is the worst thing that you have ever done" in the aggressive opener "Insomniatic Meat."
The assault is unrelenting. This is not metal in the normal sense of the word, but these kids are churning out the abrasive hard rock that makes no pretense of being upbeat or happy. Each song has an angry edge even the poppy "A Piece of Mind" is dark and brooding. "Revelation Song" contains sections that harken back to the classic Deftones sound of Adrenaline. This band has upped the punch but still has some great melody (A Piece of Mind).
This album has a little something for anyone into the screamo/emo/hardcore whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-it style! "The Casket of Roderik Usher" is the best Every Time I Die song they never wrote.
I highly recommend checking this album out if you can stomach some of the new scene music. For Fans of: Deftones, Every Time I Die, The Used
