Finch is an American band that captivates listeners with a sound like an emotional roller coaster.

There’s a Metalhead in the Parking LotSlapstick
Born from the ska-punk scene that defined Chicago in the 1990s, Slapstick is known for its high-energy live performances and socially conscious lyrics.
Their appeal lies in the tight cohesion fostered by being close friends since high school, and an energetic sound influenced by bands like Operation Ivy.
Though their activity spanned just three years—from their formation in 1993 to their breakup in 1996—they left behind the classic album “Lookit!” and made a significant impact on Chicago’s punk scene.
After the breakup, the members continued in new bands such as Alkaline Trio and The Lawrence Arms.
They even reunited for Asian Man Records’ 15th anniversary festival in 2011, and their popularity remains strong to this day.
