Haven't heard this one for a while…
Finger Eleven is based out of Burlington, Ont. They started out as Rainbow Butt Monkeys & released "Letters from Chutney" in 1995. They released another LP in 1997 ("Tip") before being signed to Wind-Up Records (12 Stones, Evanescence, Seether), re-released "Tip", & have since released 4 more; the latest being "Life Turns Electric", released Oct. 5th, 2010. Their name, as Scott Anderson (vocals) explains, comes from the idea that: "when everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another—that’s finger eleven". This song is from their break out album "Them vs. You vs. Me" (which won the 2008 Juno award for Rock Album of the Year) released on March 6th, 2007.
