FINISH TICKET Release Second Album “Echo Afternoon” Via Better Noise Music; Share Music Video For “Bad Times”


Alt-rock group FINISH TICKET are excited to release their second full-length album "ECHO AFTERNOON" today, September 6, via Better Noise Music. Co-produced by the band alongside Jim Kaufman (Atlas Genius, Helmet, Danny Worsnop) and Michael Coleman (Chappell Roan, Sure Sure, Em Beihold), ECHO AFTERNOON’s 12 tracks show the band at their most vulnerable as they take listeners on an emotional roller coaster narrating the struggles and anxiety of being stuck in limbo while trying to find an escape to a brighter future. The band have shared four tracks from the album–“Changing,” “Let You Go,” “Float Away,” and “Peace of Mind”-- all of which underline their melodic flair, engagingly upbeat rhythms, and vocalist Brendan Hoye’s wide-ranging vocals.

FINISH TICKET have shared a new music video for “Bad Times”, a song which inspires hope in finding happiness and love after overcoming past failed relationships and dark times. The band recently encountered some “bad times” of their own after their tour van died while they were en route for the first night of their tour with Nico Vega in July. Hoye was able to overcome the hiccup and hitch a ride with Nico Vega and complete the tour solo with just an acoustic guitar.

"This album was difficult for us”, shares vocalist Brendan Hoye. “Many walls to scale and pits to climb from. We are relieved and proud to have it out in the world, and have our family, friends, and fans to thank for sticking with us and supporting us through the process. We hope you enjoy this record. In our opinion, it is best listened to from sunset to dusk. And LOUD.” "ECHO AFTERNOON" is available via CD, Vinyl, and digital download. Get it now at https://finishticket.ffm.to/echoafternoon

FINISH TICKET—Hoye, Alex DiDonato (guitar), Gabe Stein (drums), and Ryan Blair (bass)— made their debut late-night TV performance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” following the release of their 2014 debut album "Tears You Apart" (Atlantic Records) and a wave of sold-out shows across the Bay Area. In 2019, FINISH TICKET self-released their hit track “Dream Song,” which garnered over 4.2 million streams and saw the band embark on a successful headlining tour, selling out multiple venues across the country. Then COVID hit in 2020 and brought everything to a halt.

After spending the past three years writing and recording their second full-length album, "Echo Afternoon", FINISH TICKET signed a record deal with Better Noise Music.
