Finger Eleven
Finger Eleven, a rock band that's made waves in the music industry, hails from a small town in Ontario, Canada. Forming in the early 1990s, the original lineup featured Scott Cooke (vocals), James Black (guitar), Rick Jackett (leitar), Sean Anderson (bass), and Steve Molella (drums).
This group of friends released several independent albums showcasing their distinct rock sound, which led to their debut studio album, "Letters from Chutney," in 1995. But it was their third album, "The Greyest of Blue Skies," that put them on the map in 1999. The band saw a shift in their sound as they started fusing elements of alternative and hard rock.
In 2000, drummer Steve Molella left the group, and later, Rich Beddo joined as the new drummer, marking a substantial chapter in the band's evolution. This new lineup released the album "Finger Eleven" in 2003, which eventually became their breakout success. It included the hit single "One Thing," which topped the charts in Canada and made waves in the United States and beyond.
As their popularity rose, Finger Eleven released subsequent albums, "Them vs. You vs. Me" in 2007 and "Life Turns Electric" in 2010. These albums cemented their reputation as a versatile rock band, experimenting with different sounds while staying true to their core rock roots.
Throughout their journey, Finger Eleven has continued to evolve and explore new musical dimensions without losing their rock sensibilities. They've toured the world, shared stages with renowned artists, and earned the love and admiration of millions of fans. Today, Finger Eleven continues to be a powerful force in the alternative rock scene, inspiring new generations of musicians with their ever-evolving sound and captivating performances.
