Finger Eleven has carved a lasting legacy in the music industry with their captivating blend of cathartic metal, alt-rock balladry, and danceable funk. The band’s journey began in 1990 when Scott Anderson, Rick Jackett, James Black, Sean Anderson, and drummer Rob Gommerman (later replaced by Rich Beddoe) formed the group in high school.
With their debut album “Letters from Chutney” released in 1995 under the name “Rainbow Butt Monkeys,” Finger Eleven quickly gained recognition. Their subsequent LP “Tip” caught the attention of Wind-up Records, leading to their breakthrough in the US market with hits like “Above.”
In 2003, Finger Eleven reached international stardom with their self-titled album, featuring the chart-topping single “One Thing.” This success continued with their fourth album “Them vs. You vs. Me,” earning them a Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year and spawning the multi-platinum hit “Paralyzer.”
Finger Eleven released their “Greatest Hits” album in 2023 and continues to captivate audiences worldwide, showcasing their unparalleled talent and versatility.
