Finish Ticket
San Francisco-based quartet Finish Ticket make melodic music that straddles the line between indie rock and radio-ready pop. They debuted in 2009 with the EP Life Underwater, and followed it up a few years later with the 2013 full-length Tears You Apart. Following a handful of EPs, a relocation, and a lineup refresh, the group issued their sophomore album, Echo Afternoon, some 11 years later in 2024. Formed in 2008 while the bandmembers were attending Alameda High School near San Francisco, Finish Ticket features the talents of lead singer/keyboardist Brendan Hoye, guitarist/vocalist Alex DiDonato, bassist Michael Hoye, and drummer Gabe Stein. They released their debut EP, Life Underwater, in 2009. The EP Shake a Symphony followed a year later. In 2013, Finish Ticket released their debut full-length, Tears You Apart, with production from Rilo Kiley's Pierre de Reeder. The album featured the singles "Catch You on My Way Out" and "Doctor." The band was signed by Elektra in 2014, releasing the EP When Night Becomes Day the following year. The single "Color" climbed its way into the Billboard Alternative Top 40, their first entry on the charts. Following a hectic couple of years of touring the group relocated to Los Angeles in 2018 while also parting ways with Michael Hoye and keyboardist Nick Stein. Focusing their time on writing new material and playing sporadic live dates, the group issued a handful of tracks over the next few years. In 2022 Finish Ticket inked a deal with Better Noise Records and entered the studio to start work on their sophomore album. Producing the album themselves, alongside Jim Kaufman (Helmet, Atlas Genius) and Michael Coleman (Chappel Roan, Sure Sure), the resulting Echo Afternoon appeared in mid-2024, preceded by the tracks "Let You Go" and "Float Away."
