The band's story begins in 1990, when Scott Anderson (vocals), Rick Jackett (guitar), James Black (vocals, guitar), Sean Anderson (bass) and drummer Rob Gommerman (later replaced by Rich Beddoe) began playing together in high school. One of Canada's best-selling bands, Juno Award-winning rockers FINGER ELEVEN have built a long-lasting legacy with their genre-defying sound (spanning cathartic metal and alt-rock balladry to danceable funk, power pop, and beyond) that continues to keep fans on their toes. As with all things F11, the band obsessed over the song choices, running order, and vinyl version to go along with the beautiful new art that James created." Speaking to the band's first-ever retrospective, Anderson reflects: "After six albums and 20-plus years of being together, FINGER ELEVEN is beyond excited to finally release a greatest-hits album. All formats are available to pre-order today. Meanwhile, fans can pick up a collectible version of the CD featuring unique packaging at Walmart, along with a Walmart-exclusive Purple Smoke LP. A limited-edition Blue Smoke pressing will be available exclusively via the band's web site and, and indie record stores will carry an exclusive Yellow Marble variant. "Greatest Hits" arrives on CD and digitally June 16, while the vinyl edition (the band's first-ever vinyl release) will follow on August 25. The song has an optimistic-sounding chorus but it's really a desperate plea from one party to another asking please stick around, let's go down with this ship together." Recorded in Toronto last year with drummer/producer Steve Molella, the song packs a punch with anthemic guitar-driven hooks and high-energy handclaps. "It's about the bonds between people and how far that bond can extend before it's broken. " 'Together Right' is about unity," explains frontman Scott Anderson. The single is available to stream/download today. As a bonus, the 12-track set also offers a previously unreleased cover of PINK FLOYD's "Welcome To The Machine" (a longtime live staple) as well as the band's first new single in more than seven years, "Together Right". Spanning over two decades, the "Greatest Hits" album highlights the group's diverse range with fan favorites, including multi-platinum hit "Paralyzer" and Juno-nominated "One Thing", plus chart toppers like "Falling On" and "Living In A Dream". Craft Recordings celebrates the enduring career of FINGER ELEVEN with the band's first collection of hit singles.
