Finch's song, "Ink" appeared in EA's Madden NFL '06 (2005) and Burnout Revenge (2005)
Finch also contributed a song to the 2003 Underworld soundtrack, entitled "Worms of the Earth". The track was also included on Atticus: ...dragging the lake, Vol. 2 under the title "Worms of the Universe", which is a compilation album released by Atticus Clothing.
During this period the band was at the height of their career and soon began the writing process for their next album. Derek Doherty and Randy Strohmeyer were involved in the progressive rock band The Sound of Animals Fighting which was recorded during their Say Hello to Sunshine sessions.

On July 31, 2004, members of the band were involved in a conflict with members of the band Disturbed at The Rolling Rock Town Fair in Latrobe, PA. The quarrel is thought to have rooted from comments made by members of Finch about Disturbed singer David Draiman and his band.

Disturbed and Finch got into an onstage brawl at the Rolling Rock Town Fair in Latrobe, PA earlier today. The fight, which took place while Finch were preparing to take the stage, was reportedly the culmination of an ongoing feud between the two bands stemming from an interview Finch gave to MeanStreet magazine in late 2002. In that interview, Finch guitarist Randy Strohmeyer said about Disturbed singer David Draiman, "I'd shoot him in the fucking head. I'd rip his stupid little piercings out. They're just cheesy. It bums me out because their music is terrible, and what they're about, it's just shit. Hopefully all that music will die out soon, and hopefully it will make room for the good music."

A posting at the Finch web site regarding today's incident reads as follows:
"To anyone who either witnessed or heard about today's incident at the Rolling Rock Town Fair. While we were setting up, one of the members of Disturbed, [guitarist] Dan Donegan, was harassing us from the side of the stage. Before we were to play, Randy (our guitarist) walked over to Dan to explain that the comments he made a few years ago were a joke, and to give him a friendly handshake. Dan proceeded to assault Randy and Disturbed singer, David Draiman, attacked Mike Herrara (our drum tech), which caused a fight to ensue. We want everyone to know that Finch did not start this fight. However, we do not take kindly to being assaulted or having our lives threatened. We would like this little conflict to be resolved as soon as possible, but we will not give in to bullying bands threatening us or our fans."

Founding band member drummer Alex Pappas left the band due to musical differences; he was replaced by Marc Allen. Pappas would later form Redgun Radar. The band took their time recording the album and often scrapped songs in order to record new ones. Finch finally released Say Hello To Sunshine on June 7, 2005. The first single of the album was "Bitemarks & Bloodstains" and was also the first song the band wrote for the album. In an interview Nate Barcalow stated that "Bitemarks makes the transition between the old and the new sound."

The band broke up and said this:

"Through much thought and deliberation, the five of us have decided to take an indefinite break from Finch. Amongst the many reasons for our decision, our individual priorities just lie in different places. We can’t express how grateful we are to all of you for the past five years. We’ve had the opportunity to play the music we love for a living. The five of us will always feel lucky for that. Again, thank you all so much for the love and support you’ve given us. A special thanks as well, to all who have worked closely with us over the years to make things happen. A list of names would just be too long. You know who you are."

Nate Barcalow became the vocalist of Cosmonaut.
Marc Allen joined Helen Earth Band.
Randy Strohmeyer worked on a project called Gazillionaire with former Finch touring manager, Nick Mendoza.
Alex Linares continued his education.
Derek Doherty is involved in real estate.
Alex Pappas played drums for Redgun Radar before they disbanded in 2007. He is currently playing drums for The Loving Lost.

On October 25, 2007 guitarist Randy Strohmeyer posted a blog on Finch's MySpace Site saying: "FINCH IS BACK! IT'S TRUE!! I couldn't be more excited to confirm the news. We're playing the day after Thanksgiving Nov. 23rd. Please stay tuned for more details. I love all of you. I'm so happy!! Thanks for reading, Please please come! - R2K"

Finch will be playing various dates on the west coast and in the southwest in January 2008 and has plans for an east coast tour.

Finch's song "Letters to you was #39 on the UK charts in 2002
What it is to burn was #15 on the US charts in 2003

JESUS CHRIST. lol. biggest post EVER.

COOL!!!! disturbed vs. finch. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!! ( i can't help it. i like violence. )

lol. but i don't get why they left in the first place. and why there getting back together for seeemingly no reason.

p.s.

Have you heard the one about the Drive-Thru band that started off in high school sounding suspiciously like one of its major influences before finding its own sound and catching the ear of the eminent label?

Sure you have, only the story didn't quite go the way this one does. Finch didn't start off by aping the sounds of Blink 182, or Jimmy Eat World, or any of the other usual suspects. In fact, that was the furthest thing from their mind.

"We were pretty much a Deftones ripoff band," singer Nate admits sheepishly. In those days, the Temecula, California based band was called Numb, but it was essentially the same band. Except for one key element, that is: Randy.

Initially recruited as a second guitarist to bolster Numb's sound, Randy's musical interests were hardly shared with the rest of the band. "Temecula is really cliquey. I had my surfer/skater friends, and we'd listen to punk rock," says Randy. "When I was first in the band, everyone hated punk except Derek."

So what attracted them to Randy of all people? "I was in this band called Evitca Fresh. We were playing our bass player Jeremy's birthday, and Numb came to watch us play," Randy explains. "Derek (Numb/Finch's bassist) came up to me after the show and he goes, ˜Hey, your girlfriend's hot!" And I'm like, "What? Thanks, I guess."

"It kind of creeped me out," Randy continues. "But then he pursued me a few days later, and he was like, ˜You're a good guitar player, dude. You should come play for our band!"

A dubious beginning, no doubt, but when Randy finally decided to enter the fold it would prove a major turning point for the band.

"Randy's totally influenced by punk, so he brought that element, and it started changing things," says Nate. "He introduced us to things like Jimmy Eat World and emo-ish stuff, too. Everyone started listening to it and getting our own ideas. It's been a little over a year and a half since we've all been working together, and the music has changed so much since then."

It's not that Randy became the architect of a new sound for the band, but the clash of his punk and emo influences with their heavier ones brought Finch collectively to something that wasn't exactly any of those things.

"We're waiting for someone to throw us into a category” because we don't really know what genre we are, either," says Nate. "There are so many different elements and different ideas in our music that it's hard to classify."

"It's just our style now," echoes Randy. "We're all on the same wavelength. We developed our style together, we built it up, so now we all write similar songs."

The addition of Randy didn't just broaden the newly renamed Finch's approach to music. It changed their entire perspective on being a band. Up to that point, the thought of inking a record deal hadn't even crossed their minds.

"I was working and doing school, and the band was just something else to do. I didn't really care if we got signed or not," says Nate. "But when we hooked up with Randy, he kept talking about Drive-Thru Records."

As it turns out, Randy had kept in touch with Drive-Thru since writing a fan letter to the label years earlier. He'd even tried to pique the label's interest with his previous bands. Needless to say, when Randy told his new band mates about his relationship with the label, he was met with a bit of excitement.

"Richard (Drive-Thru Record's owner) was like, "All right, come and play for me," says Randy. "So we rented a studio. Richard wasn't even stoked, he was just doing it as a favor. But we went up there and played, and he was blown away."

So blown away, in fact, that he called his sister and Drive-Thru co-owner Stefanie into the studio to check the band out. She was duly impressed , and Finch was offered a contract on the spot.

Which just about brings us up to date. Finch's debut, a four-song EP produced by Chris Fudurich (The Hippos, Rx Bandits), will be in stores on Drive-Thru on October 9, 2001.

The band has been working on its first full length with producer Mark Trombino (Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World, Midtown), which ought to give you an idea of the faith the label has in its new signing. Finch's sound continues to grow in new directions, although they're no closer to being able to tell you just what genre that sound fits into. And the plan from here is simple:"We're gonna finish our album, and then we're gonna go on tour and get homesick," says Randy. "And then we'll come back for a little bit, and go on tour and get homesick again, until we turn 30 and we're Drive-Thru has-beens."

did u copy and paste that?

mostly.
