The Finest Hour are a band of merry'uns who travel up and down this fair country plying their trade wherever people will let them. If you care to click on the music player (above) you can hear what this sounds like.
They've been doing this now since 2007 gaining more friends than enemies along the way and playing more shows than they can actually put a number to. It'd be a big number though. Bigger than 7. Much bigger.
Some highlights include support slots for signed acts such as Chris Helme and The Yards, Orphan Boy, Neville Staple, The Brightlights, The Lights, Mystery Jets, Zane Lowe and Harijan.
Some higher lights include playing on an ice cream shop roof, terrifying Jimmy Carr, getting lost in Islington, having fans randomly turn up to gigs in far flung exotic places (like Oldham), getting lost in Leeds, playing an acoustic set to Austrailian and German people in a travel lodge room at 4am in Kings Cross, getting lost in Ulceby, Holtonstock 2007, Holtonstock 2008, Holtonstock 2009, getting lost in London, getting Lost series 1 on DVD (see what I did there?), having 'wanted' posters of their roadie up behind all the bars in Preston, having to convince police that it wasn't actually him who'd deserted the army and just someone who looked like him, I could go on..
.....so I will.......
cramming 12 people into budget hotel rooms, making a man with a beard cry, being played on Chorley FM, laughing at a woman who fell over on a train, a lot, in fact I'm laughing now thinking about it, she was alright it just looked so funny, she fell cartoon style in the vestibule (that's a great word isn't it? 'vestibule') like she'd slipped on a banana skin. Where was I?
Some nice things people have said include:
