Briefly: Tourmates of Days of the New, Creed, and currently Fuel... That says it all.

"We're not trying to split the atom, we just want to write good songs," says Finger Eleven guitarist James Black. So with their sights set somewhere between the dissident fervor of rock 'n' roll and the physics of musical fusion, Toronto's Finger Eleven have spun their way fromt he Great White North inception oin '94, to the comfort of America's modern rock scene, spinning their hook-heavy weave of resonating guitars and dense, murky vocals throughout tours with Days of the New and Creed, and their current North American run with Fuel, slated through May. Standout tracks on Tip, their Wind-up debut, include the tight crunch of "Condenser," the rattling rhythm of current single and video "Above," and the hyperactive charge of "Glimpse."
