Everywhere 7''
Merge
1990
Rating: 7 passing dumptrucks out of 10
Finger was before my time, but I've always enjoyed these local vets' take on Husker Du-ish guitar-driven indie rock. Not only is this one of Merge Record's earliest releases (catalog number 12), it might be one of the first releases by the band. Neither the title track or the b-side "Awful Truth" seem to appear anywhere else, and the title track is well worth seeking out if you're a fan of early nineties Triangle rock. Or if you just like awesome songs.
Side note: I just realized local alt-country legend John Howie, also of Two Dollar Pistols and solo work, played drums in Finger. Trivia!
