A new and really interesting band: San Francisco-based quartet Finish Ticket make melodic music that straddles the line between indie rock and radio-ready pop. Formed in 2008 while the bandmembers were attending Alameda High School near San Francisco, Finish Ticket features the talents of lead singer/keyboardist Brendan Hoye, guitarist/vocalist Alex DiDonato, bassist Michael Hoye, and drummer Gabe Stein.

Finish Ticket's debut album "Tears You Apart" was independently released last year. The band then signed a deal with F-Stop Music, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, that will re-release the album on May 20.
