• 0:16
  Speaker 2: at all now. So how are you feeling.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling Uh, I'm feeling good, nervous. I mean, I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: felt everything there is to feel about this album. It's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's been a long journey and I'm so happy that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it's finally coming to an end and it's going to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: materialize in an actual record. I'm thrilled.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is your first studio album in over a decade.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Might like you guys have been there, done that, You've
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: got your set fan base. But was there any extra pressure?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Is it sort of like a comeback album being so long.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of pressure because of the time.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like, okay, well you can't just put
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: out anything. There's been so much time that's gone by,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and so that that I think that hung over our
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: heads a little bit, But it doesn't change the day
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to day, you know, writing where it's like Okay, well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we're still going to try to do the best we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: can where that's what that's what Finger eleven does. We're
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: going to get in a room and try to make
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the whatever idea we're working on the very best it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can be. So we did that over and over to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: many songs, and uh, you know, there's until until somebody
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: gave us a hard deadline. You know. It used to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: be you were in a studio that you would rent
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for a month or two, and then when that time
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: ran out, you were done the record. There's there's no
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there's no more resources left, You're done, you know. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it was kind of the polar opposite. This time, we
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: had all the time in the world, and so we
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just refined ideas over and over and over. But you know, yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: at a certain point, it's like, okay, let's put out
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a record. Let's do it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It's not a human nights you made that individually and collectively,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the whole band would have changed quite Bobchin years. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was that noticeable during the creative and the recording process.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I think we're all different people, but there's you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there's there's you know, even in live shows, I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we all feel like we're like seventeen year old kids again.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You know, there's something like there's all kinds of different
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we're all in different situations, but the band has remained
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you know, all the way through those those things. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I I feel like, well, I haven't
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: this is this is you know, I can look back
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and go, wow, I've I've never done anything this long.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You know. My last real job was a was a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: gas station attendant. So you know, like I've been able
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to hang on to this job, and it's I guess
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's a real anchor you know for me and I.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I it's you know, at our at its heart, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like we we we still you know, it's it's it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a wonderful feeling to kind of get together and try
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to and make something with your buddies and to still
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: enjoy that. That's awesome. That's I mean, that's uh, that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: worth that's worth it in itself, you know. But to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: actually be you know, proud of you know, every single
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: track on this record and have it come out and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: have the band be one hundred percent happy at this part,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: at this time in their career, it's very satisfying. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we're excited to share it finally.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer to this next question. You know the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: answer to this next question, but your fans don't. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: tell us a bit more about the album from a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: musical point of view and what you're gone for.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I think we we knew it had to kick
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: some ass. We knew that, you know, we would, there
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: had to be some some you know, finger Lemon is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: known for a few things. You know, there's you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: there there's there's there's heavy tracks. There's like the massive
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: disco rock dance track, and there's ballads. You know, like
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we're not really afraid like every you know, every every
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: genre is just as important. But you know, at a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: certain point, you know, finger Levon is known for like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, a riff heavy band that's you know, kind
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of begging you to turn it up. So there's the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The only other thing I was going for was to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not just not be so damn negative this time, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: try to like have heavy stuff that's a little more fun,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know, as far as subject matter goes, just but
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot of heavy stuff and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: then there's like a you know, the title track Last
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Night on Earth is like a moodier tune as a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: song called Laughing at the Storm, which is you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I think a really great a really great track that's uh,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's got this real ominous feel to it. But you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: know they all combined to you know, make a really
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: great musical ride. We we obsess over, you know, the tracking,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: specifically Rick, the guitar arst in the band Hill. You know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we discussed for weeks the running order, you know, just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in case people listen to music the way we used to,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: just in case, and and you know, Rick is a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: giant vinyl collector, and so is James, and so they
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had to take those matters into it. They had to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: take that idea into consideration as well. So it was all,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know, it's all meticulously curated by the band, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it's a finger eleven record. It's it's it's dynamic, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's meant to be listened to, uh, front to back,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: but it's mostly meant to just kind of be enjoyed.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: If you're a if you're a music fan, Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And you've released the singles Adrenaline and Blue Sky Mystery,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So would you say that they're a good sonic representation
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: of the whole album? Or they just scratch a s.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I think so those are those are two pretty high
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: energy songs. There's a song called the Mountain which has
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a ton of you know, which again is a lot
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of fun and it's it definitely you know, the rock
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: side of Finger Leven is represented on this record. Ah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: really well, but there's a lot of you know, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna hear it's a confident band, you know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: There's it doesn't sound like we've been mothballed for ten years,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and it's true, you know we've been We've still we've
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: been working on these out uh these these songs and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: just you know, you work on ideas and then the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: cream rises to the top, and then you rewrite those
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: so they're better, and then do it again and again
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and again and uh so there's there's a high level
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of quality as far as the songs. There's not a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: lot of like, oh well, maybe we should just put
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this song on there. That didn't that didn't occur on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on on on this project. So you know, it's it's
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think I think you'll be able to hear it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: There's it's it's sonically a ton of fun to listen to.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you earlier that I'll listen to the full
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: album this morning before the interview, and the one thing
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that really stood out to me is like it's got
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: a very eighties and nineties nostalgic rock sort of vibe.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It everything just seems bigger with more focus on production.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Am I corrected sign that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. You know, we're Finger eleven likes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Swing for the Fences sonically, you know, we tend
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to make big music. We have a producer in the band,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know, as well as you know the the other
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: members themselves, you know. But like Steve the drummer, has
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: basically produced this record, and he's he's just interested in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sonic perfection, you know. And I've worked with a lot
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of producers, and sometimes it's just it's really hard to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to get comfortable, especially you're doing vocals and it's just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you and them, you know, trying to you know, when
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're singing these words for the first
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: time and you're hoping it's hitting, and you've got to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: trust that person on the other side of the glass
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to tell you if it is or not, and what
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you can do better or you know, or which which
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: direction you should go and Steve and I have been
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we've had a great working relationship for the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: last record in the you know, for the last ten years.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: He's a new guy and he's been in the band
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for ten years. That's that's that's mind blowing. But uh yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: so there's some I think that's where our main influences are.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You know, eighties nineties, you know that that those were
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you know, coming up if you were lucky enough to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: kind of go through that era, there's there's some of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of the music that came out with just
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: absolutely untouchable. Of course, of course there's really good stuff
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: coming out now, but man, oh man, we got we
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: got treated, and to be there when it was coming out,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you know, pretty special.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Especially all read it quite from Rick where he said,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: as we were making Last Night on Earth, there was
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: this feeling that we were making a big rock record.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: We've done that early in our career. Then we beat
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: away from it, but it was time to go back
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and embrace that bigness of the sound. Like you can
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: understand that as a musician, but for other people looking in,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: what are you actually mean by that? What's he mean
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: by the bigness of sound.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I think, and not be you know, to to really
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: go for it, you know, to to to keep those
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: guitars turned up. Maybe it's maybe like rock music has
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: fallen out out of fashion maybe, but I don't think
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we care. I think it's you know, that's that's the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: stuff that we that that still resonates for us. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I think the idea to kind of do your best
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to not censor yourself and go like, okay, do I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you know, do I like this idea like let's not
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: let's stay about it a lot, but let's not overthink
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it and you know, let's just really go for it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You know, there's there's awesome there's there's giant guitars on here,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: there's all kinds of like wild harmonies. You know, we're
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: having like we're having a lot of fun creating big music,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and you know that's what you're gonna hear.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, or
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it might even just be me in the way I think,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: but the very first few seconds of Adrenaline, which is
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: also the album opener, it reminded me of the song
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Underneath the Radar, which, like it subconsciously took me back
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to that era of music without actually having to think
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: about it. Like it's kind of like subliminal advertising for cocaine,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: but legal.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Right to say like, Okay, look this is where we're going.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: This is you know, be prepared, you know, strap in. Yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's important for us to uh, you know, like
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: when we're writing music, it's like the beginning, middle, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the end are all you know, they're they're all just
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: as important. And to have you know, every single you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: every hit song has an identifiable beginning and that's that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's a hard thing to tack on, you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: but it is something you got to think about. You know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: there's and and we did and we do you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: there's there's there's a lot of that. So you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we we try to we try to edit, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to the point where it's like you you leave you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you leave all the the fad on the floor and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you just try to like get to the get to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the good stuff as fast as you can and try
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to justify every single part, you know, and I think
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that makes for a great song and that makes you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: want to listen to it again.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It was really cool because there's only fleet like I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: would have only been about two seconds, but my mind
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: just straight away went to that song, which gave me
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: an idea of what the album was meant to be overall.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: In some ways, it was like it was it was
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: one of those moments. It was a very very different
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: sort of moment. But the song gets changed off of
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that and it was not the right of it put
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: me in that sort of mode of music. It's hard
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to describe. But if you did it on purpose, well done.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: If you did it accidentally, well done.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If we if we did it on purpose, this
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: news to me.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Well it's worked on one person.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm in charge of the lyrics ability, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: don't know, man.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: You had Richard Patrick from Filter appear on Blue Sky
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Mystery and for a change made like it's a modern
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: collaboration that actually adds to the song, Like it doesn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: feel like it's there as a as a bi agenda
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: light And I understand that was the first time you
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: guys worked together for despite both being around for every
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: thirty years.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we had never We had never we had
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: never met, and you know, Finger Level doesn't do a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: lot of collaborating, right, but it was we were trying
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to entertain the idea like what if, Like what's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: good idea, what would be a dream project? You know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And there were a few people that you know, on
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on a pretty short list, and Richard Patrick, you know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was gracious enough to take our call and he really
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: liked the song and we got to talking. I talked
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to Richard Patrick for about forty five minutes, you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and he's so easy to talk to.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: He's great, and.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You know, he understood the song and he liked it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And we had to do the session remotely, and he
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: really it's I admire his delivery because it's hard when
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's not your melody, it's not your cadence, it's not
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: your words, you know, but you you have, you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a handful of hours to really sell it, and he,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you know, he did and he was also he was
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: also cool enough to come and film a video with
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: us too, and that was a whirlwind moment. It was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: he jumped right in and we we sang together and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we'd never met, and it was it was a total trip.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And I think it's I think he had a very
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: good time. And the hope is that we collaborate further,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: like we might even there's talk about going out on
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the road together and that would be so wonderful. So
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we'll see what the future brings.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and you've also had done a very
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: brave thing by having the title track, which by proxy
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: makes it his focused track of the album. But you've
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: got it as an acoustic sort of number line. It
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: works really well. But was there ever a discussion that
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: maybe that might have been a little bit too risky.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a last minute decision. We had a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: different name for the album, and it was a it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was a it was a pitch from either Steve or Rick,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of saying, hey, listen, what if what
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: if we called the album last Night on Earth? You know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and it seemed to resonate with the artwork that James
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was working on. You know, it had this idea where
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there's there's this kind of like
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: interplanetary you know imagery that the album, the album art
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: evokes for me, and that put the song in a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: whole new context. And I mean it is a big
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it's a wild idea you know for a band that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: is known for its like loud guitars to go like no, no, no,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: this song, you know, this This album is called Last
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Night on Earth, but that's figure eleven for you. You know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the mellow stuff is just as important as the the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: loud stuff. And I mean, I think fans that have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: been around for a minute they understand that they're gonna
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: get all kinds of different sonic landscapes on every record.
• 15:38
