This band was formed in Canada in 1994 and has had a huge Canadian following ever since. Members include Scott Anderson, James Black, Rick jacket, Sean Anderson, Rich Beddoe, and former member Rob Gommerman. They started out by winning a rock band contest on the radio station 97.7 CHTZ in which the radio station organized. They used the money they won to further their career by making their first album, which was titled, “Letters from Chutneyâ€.
They found new management and changed their name to Finger Eleven. After this, they realized their music was changing and decided to become serious and created a new album titled, “Tip†in 1997. After the release of this album, Rob Gommerman, the drummer left the band and was replaced by Rich Beddoe. In 2000, they released “The Greyest of Blue Skies†and this went gold in their home country.
In 2003, they released their self-titled album and this brought the hit single, “One Thingâ€, which made it to #16 in the United States. This song gave them exposure on Smallville and Scrubs. They also recorded the song for Kane of WWE called “Slow Chemicalâ€. Their song “Sad Exchange†was for the 2003’s Daredevil movie. Their song, “Stay in the Shadow†was one of the tracks for the video game Burnout 3 and “Good Times†made it to SSX 3. Three more of their songs made it to Game Cube game 1080 Avalanche. Life as We Know It had “One Thing†at the end of the 6th episode. WWE used the song “One Thing†as a tribute video following the death of Chris Benoit.
Their self-titled album has made them publicly known worldwide now and the songs on television have really portrayed them. Their most recent album “Them vs. You vs. Me†was released to the public in March 2007 and the single, “Paralyzer†was performed on the Jay Leno Show on March 14, 2007. They also performed the same song at the NHL awards show on June 14, 2007.
Right now, the band is doing something no band has ever done. They ran a contest for one lucky person to win a spot in their band for a day, among other prizes.
