New York, NY (Top40 Charts ) Today Finch has teamed up with VEVO for the worldwide premiere of their video "Play Dead" from their recent album Back To Oblivion
Directed by the band's very own, Daniel Wonacott, "Play Dead" is a black and white Cohen Brothers-Esque nod to film noir. The video follows a man (bass player Alex Linares) through the forest carrying a body bag and a shovel. What or who is in the bag? You'll have to wait until the end to find out.
Finch are heading out this week on tour as main support for label mates Yellowcard. In May they head to the UK to play the Slam Dunk Festival as well as headline a handful of UK Shows. All tour dates listed below and tickets are available at https://backtooblivion.com/tour-dates/.
Back to Oblivion marks the return of Finch with the band's first full length album in over nine years. The Southern California band has undeniably created a lasting, formidable body of work with their two studio albums and EPs - singer Nate Barcalow acknowledges that 2002's What It Is To Burn all but "defined post-hardcore early in the decade", while 2005's Say Hello to Sunshine continued to shape its direction. The band dignified the demand for a celebration of What It Is To Burn's 10th anniversary by reforming after a hiatus and playing select sold-out shows across the country in 2013. Inspired by the creative surge brought on by these shows, Finch rendered these contradictions moot with Back to Oblivion, their long-awaited third LP and a new, bold chapter in the band's legacy. Back to Oblivion itself is a paradoxical idea. This is Finch reinvigorated, brimming with the inspiration of their earliest days; the opposite of the negation implied by "oblivion." But as a songwriting unit, they're challenging themselves by going deep into the unknown - this is by far Finch's most introspective and demanding work from a lyrical standpoint. The album was produced by Brian Virtue (Deftones, 30 Seconds to Mars, Janes Addiction, Audio Slave).
