Finch celebrate 20 years of What It Is To Burn with two UK shows

California emo heroes Finch are hitting the UK in November...

What It Is To Burn, the massive-selling debut album by California emos Finch , number eight on Kerrang!'s Albums Of 2002 (below Red Hot Chili Peppers' By The Way, above Idlewild's The Remote Part), turned 20 last month. To celebrate, albeit slightly belatedly, the band have announced a pair of album-centered shows in the UK for November.

This won't be the first time Finch have celebrated their album's birthday, first doing it a decade ago for the big 10. “I was like, 'I don't know, it's a lot of trouble for one show," remembered guitarist Grizz Linares. "But alright, I'll do it for two shows! Let's do a California show, and let's do a London show. I want to go on vacation to England one more time!'”

The album contained their biggest hit and emo staple Letters To You. The video was all over Kerrang! TV at the time, and we've done a lovely deep-dive into it .

Catch Finch's anniversary shows at the dates below.

Related tags, the genius of… what it is to burn by finch.

With their heady blend of introspection, pop-punk and post-hardcore, Finch’s album debut and subsequent legacy upset the punk cognoscente.

Hype is a funny thing. It’s just excitement, really, but there’s a darkness to it – it has been known to eat its young, after all. In 2002, Finch were a hype band. Back then it was easy to see why – and it’s still easy to see why when picking through the bones of their story.

• READ MORE: Bodega – Broken Equipment review: The band expand their palette in this thrilling musical tour of New York and its history

Their debut album What It Is To Burn split an arrow by synthesising emo’s heart-on-sleeve energy, the brash power of pop-punk and the catharsis of post-hardcore into a chart-ready whole. It was a case of kids playing songs that sounded like their favourite bands at a time when that particular mix was crossover dynamite.

Garage band

Finch formed as Numb in Temecula, California, in 1999, with its members still in high school. Vocalist Nate Barcalow, drummer Alex Pappas, bassist Derek Doherty and guitarist Alex Linares were soon joined by another guitar player in Randy Strohmeyer, working up songs that teamed the melodies of Jimmy Eat World with the gnarly heaviness of Glassjaw and Deftones’ atmospheric scope.

Their rise was rapid and perfectly timed, with slots on the Warped Tour coupled with signing to Drive Thru records, a Los Angeles-based label with a roster of clean-cut emo-adjacent bands that became its own punk subset for a while thanks to sleeper hits from New Found Glory, The Starting Line, Dashboard Confessional and the Movielife. Finch were a stylistic sore thumb in this company but their music might as well have been precision-tooled for Drive Thru converts who wanted a palatable access point to hardcore. They were the ideal gateway drug.

Safe pair of hands

What It Is To Burn was tracked at Big Fish in Encinitas, California, with producer Mark Trombino. As a drummer, Trombino had played on classic noise-rock records with Drive Like Jehu. As a producer, he carved a lane in alternative music that skewed pop or sparkly: in the late ’90s he helped launch Blink-182 with Dude Ranch and oversaw Jimmy Eat World’s unfuckwithable one-two of Clarity and Bleed American .

Perhaps the first thing you notice about What It Is To Burn is the weight behind each of its elements. To play music this sincere, this brazen in its ambitions, requires total commitment, and the way New Beginnings thunders into life is undeniable. Strohmeyer and Linares’ guitars – a mix of Strats and Les Pauls , respectively – drop in from out of nowhere, all octaves and downtuned chug, and almost dare you not to get swept along.

Finch play syrupy moments like Letters To You off against the chaotic stop-start riffage of Project Mayhem – one of two songs on which Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo adds gut-churning vocals to the mix – and stick the landing thanks to a consistent palette and the furious emoting behind Barcalow’s performance. The closing title track is a perfect storm: a dynamic quasi-ballad that’s crushing and completely overwrought. It might be the Sistine Chapel of heavy songs with built-in mainstream appeal. It’s also the reason why so many people were wary of Finch.

A good slap

“A cursory glance down the track-listing of this album might be enough to convince you that Finch are in need of a good slap. Letters To You , Stay With Me , Without You Here – you can almost taste the salty tang of tears spilling out of the speakers,” Paul Travers wrote in Kerrang , and that was from a largely positive review.

In 2002, rock music was still a deeply macho, insecure place. It would not do for folks to write weepy, introspective pop songs under that closely guarded banner. What It Is To Burn is a big, obvious rock record that didn’t hide its sheen, and that sort of thing was always going to spell trouble.

The record charted well, peaking at No.99 on the Billboard 200 and eventually selling hundreds of thousands of copies. But rather than riding the crest of this wave by making a safe second LP, Finch kicked against expectations by making the sort of record that posed more questions than it answered.

Released in 2005, Say Hello to Sunshine backed up the gateway drug by ending their time with Trombino, turning inward and spilling out something altogether more challenging and complex. It was packed with decisions that might alienate those fans whose interest never extended beyond paddling in the safer waters offered by What It Is To Burn . And that was totally fine with Finch.

“Mark Trombino makes really great records but it’s becoming apparent that he almost makes the same record,” Linares told skate zine Caught in the Crossfire in 2009. “I mean, you can tell the programming in a Trombino record, and honestly, it wouldn’t even have been possible to record the record with him in the end.

“He flat out told us in pre-production, when we had like 17 or 18 songs to work with, that ‘I like these four songs and the rest of these songs are absolute crap and you need to start writing.’ And we were like, ‘But we like these songs and we want to record them.’ He didn’t think we should. He was just really difficult from the beginning.”

Finch folded soon after its release, reforming sporadically on their way to touring the 10th anniversary of What It Is To Burn and releasing their third LP, Back to Oblivion , in 2014. Committed to following their own messy path rather than doing what was expected of them, Finch’s legacy is punk in the very same tradition they were once accused of betraying.

Ten years after their last exhilarating collaboration, Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and Colombian joropo band Cimarrón meet again to tour the UK.

Catrin Finch  is a remarkable and fearless artist. One of the world’s leading harp players, her career has featured both solo performances with the world’s top orchestras and collaborations with leading world music artists, including Toumani Diabate and Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita, with whom she forms ‘ one of the most popular world music acts of this decade ’ (Tim Cumming,  Songlines  on Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita).

The six-piece Grammy-nominated  Cimarrón perform joropo dance music from the cattle-rearing plains of the Orinoco, rooted in a deep tradition defined by the mestizo mixed heritage of African, Spanish and indigenous cultures. Cimarrón make wild, untamed music that preserves the spirit of freedom found in one of the world’s most untouched regions. Fast paced and powerful, it’s music, with impetuous singing, amazing stomp dancing and fierce instrumental virtuosity of strings and percussion.

This is a rare chance to witness a thrilling global collaboration.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Carlos Cuco Rojas, harpist, musician and leader of Colombian band Cimarrón.

Carlos was scheduled to play with Cimarrón alongside Catrin Finch as part of their upcoming UK tour and as a mark of respect to Carlos’ musical legacy and of Cimarrón, which was his passion and his life’s work, the band would like the tour to go ahead as planned.

Vinnie Caruana

Vinnie Caruana was an American singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, most prominently known for fronting pop-punk band the Movielife , and post-hardcore ensemble I Am the Avalanche . Hailing from Long Island, New York, he began his songwriting career in 1997 when he joined the Movielife as frontman. His sure-fire rise to prominence with the group came after a string of successful basement shows, which eventually led to the release of their debut album, It’s Go Time, in 1999. He remained with the band for four years, appearing on 2000’s This Time Next Year and 2003’s Forty Hour Train Back to Penn. However, internal tension began to rise following a traffic accident while they were on tour in 2001; this eventually led to their break-up in late 2003.

Caruana did not sit still, and after a brief stint performing with fellow Long Island rockers Head Automatica , he went on to form the post-hardcore ensemble I Am the Avalanche . The project further showcased the sheer extent of the frontman’s songwriting ability; his lyrics and his overall sound effectively evoke angst, passion, and frustration. The band released their self-titled debut album in 2005, following up with their second release, Avalanche United, in 2011, both to widespread acclaim. Around the same time, the frontman joined the Los Angeles hardcore outfit Peace’d Out . The band released their self-titled debut EP in 2012.

The singer/songwriter returned in early 2013 with his first solo release, City by the Sea. The EP presented many of Caruana’s familiar songwriting traits, albeit within a more acoustic punk package. The following year, the musician returned to his frontman duties, releasing Wolverine with I Am the Avalanche in 2014. He revisited his punk roots in 2015 with the Movielife on a small nationwide reunion tour before playing a handful of shows in the U.K.

His first full-length solo effort, Survivor’s Guilt, on Equal Vision Records , arrived in 2016. The record marked his return to a fully-fledged band sound, as opposed to the stripped-back acoustic nature of his solo EP; an intriguing approach to his more personal songwriting. Survivor’s Guilt featured both acoustic and electronic instrumentation in equal measure, along with performances from the singer’s erstwhile collaborators, such as members of I Am the Avalanche and Steve Choi of RX Bandits.
