Finch continue their comeback with new material that they’ve demoed being available to listen to over at their myspace.
Last year’s quite-fantastic EP is not where they’re going to leave it apparently. If this demo is anything to go by, the new material (for an album maybe?!) is going to be loud and aggressive with just that hint of pure pop melody that we all know and love them for.
Here’s a little reminder of what they are all about:
