Finger Eleven

Canada’s Finger Eleven pairs brooding intensity with infectious grooves, delivering a dynamic mix of alternative rock, post-grunge, and classic hard rock. The band broke through with The Greyest of Blue Skies (2000) and their eponymous 2003 album, featuring the mainstream rock hit "One Thing." Their 2007 release Them vs. You vs. Me, featuring the international hit "Paralyzer," earned them a Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year. A decade-long gap preceded the release of the group's eighth long-player, 2025's Last Night on Earth. The members of alternative metal outfit Finger Eleven grew up in Burlington, Ontario, and came together in high school as a funk-styled band named Rainbow Butt Monkeys. Originally comprising vocalist Scott Anderson, bassist Sean Anderson, drummer Rob Gommerman, and James Black and Rick Jackett on guitars, they won a rock band search contest on local radio and used the prize money to record their first album, 1995's Letters from Chutney. Gommerman left the band soon after, making way for drummer Rich Beddoe. Now named Finger Eleven, the quintet released Tip on Mercury Records in Canada, which marked the band's turn to a heavier sound. It was re-released by the New York City-based label Wind-Up Records in September 1998. The album made minor waves on MuchMusic, videos for "Above" and "Tip" increasing their profile at home, but it would still be several years before U.S. audiences really paid attention to the band. The Greyest of Blue Skies appeared in the summer of 2000, followed three years later by Finger Eleven's self-titled third album. The latter record eventually went gold, driven by the success of their brooding Top 40 hit "One Thing." After various rounds of touring, the guys got to work collectively writing their next album on Wind-Up. March 2007's Them vs. You vs. Me featured much more varied instrumentation and influences -- including dance, funk, and country -- than just the chugging metallic guitars of Finger Eleven's past efforts. The band subsequently hit the road in support with U.S. shows alongside Evanescence and Chevelle. Back home in Canada, Them vs. You vs. Me wound up winning the Juno for Rock Album of the Year in 2008, raising expectations for the band's next album, the Juno Award-nominated Life Turns Electric, which appeared in the fall of 2010. 2015 saw the release of the Dave Cobb-produced Five Crooked Lines, which adopted a heavier, more volatile tone compared to previous albums. After a lengthy hiatus from touring and recording, the band returned in 2023 with a Greatest Hits collection, which featured a pair of new studio tracks, including the chart-topping "Together Right." Two years later, Finger Eleven unveiled their eighth full-length effort, Last Night on Earth.
