Finish Ticket’s new album “Echo Afternoon” out today with a new single “Bad Times”

Author Benedetta Baldin - 6.9.2024

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. Watch the “Bad Times” music video now via YouTube or streaming here.

This album was difficult for us. 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.

Brendan Hoye
