WHAT THEY SAID
"We're friends who have a band; we're not a band who are trying to be friends," bassist James Black told Blabbermouth *. That's how Finger Eleven has kept its original lineup together for over 35 years.
THE DETAILS
- The band just dropped *Last Night On Earth* in November 2025 — their first full-length in a decade — and it took that long because all five members have to be 100 percent satisfied before anything gets released *.
- They rent cottages for week-long songwriting sessions because remote recording doesn't work when everyone's juggling dad and husband duties *.
- Touring with Creed in summer 2024 gave them the momentum to finally finish the album, which drummer Steve Molella produced at his house *.
- Lead single "Adrenaline" hit number two on Canada's Active Rock chart and stayed Top 5 for over four months *.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Scott Anderson's advice to other bands: "Finish your dang record earlier than 10 years, please" *.
