Description

2000 REISSUE OF E.F.'S 1998 LIVE ON WFMU ALBUM. inger (the American album reprises five cuts from the British seven-songer) is worth searching for, worth owning and doubly worth preserving. Led by singer/guitarist Brad Rice, the band demonstrates an uncanny ability to shift comfortably into and out of a number of musical styles without losing any of its identity as a sharp, learned and elastic-tight 4 4 rockÕnÕroll band. The opening ÒAliceÓ sounds a bit like the pre-punk sloppiness of the New York Dolls melded with the refinement of Hanoi Rocks. On ÒDaddy-Oh,Ó FingerÕs reference point is the sort of slovenly southern college rock associated with Athens, Georgia. From there, songs like ÒDrive ByÓ and ÒVesselÓ head into the kind of straight-on, sincere and unfettered bashÕnÕcrash bands like the Goo Goo Dolls hie to. Two years in the (sporadic) making, Finger is a near-perfect blend of tremendous songwriting and a gritty, muddy recording quality that keeps everything honest.
