This is a rarity if I've ever heard one. Before Art Alexakis formed EVERCLEAR, he formed this not-completely-dissimilar-sounding band. Believe it or not, these recordings are less noisy and aggressive than the earliest of EVERCLEAR. The songs are really very good (a couple of them actually became EVERCLEAR tunes). But I feel like COLORFINGER actually stands up on it's own. With a combination of self-deprecating lyrics and a twangy, thumpin', "cowpunk" music styling, they really display a well-practiced and serious group that was probably a blast to see live. Even back then, Alexakis really knew how to orchestrate and produce a song to make it sparkle. Not many people have this record. And that is a shame, my friend.
