S3, E14: Say Hello To Sunshine by Finch

<p>We Say Hello To Sunshine in the latest episode of Didn&#39;t Go Platinum. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Dave Stewart of the Noise Cartel to discuss the excellent but frequently misunderstood second album by Finch. </p><p>This remarkable slice of mid-2000&#39;s post-hardcore has become something of a cult favourite, but a sizeable chunk of Finch&#39;s early fanbase positively hated it. And that&#39;s not surprising; from the artwork that initially seems nice but gets weirder the longer you look at it, to the odd time signatures and disturbing lyrics, it&#39;s a very challenging album.</p><p>But it&#39;s also very good. Here, Dave makes the case for why it deserves a reappraisal. Don&#39;t go in expecting another &#39;Letters To You,&#39; this is an entirely different Finch. </p><p>You can find out more about Dave&#39;s work with The Noise Cartel at their <a href="https://www.thenoisecartel.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">website</a>. </p><p>You can follow Didn&#39;t Go Platinum on Instagram and Threads at @dngplatinum, or email us at dngplatinum@gmail.com </p><p>Big shout out to the Pop Punk &amp; Emo True Stories YouTube channel, whose <a href="https://youtu.be/2-7xTu8g3zo?si=M2pyn8h4aVgOwDhF" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Finch documentary</a> was a major resource for this episode.</p><p>And of course, check out <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/2sTszHEtxhh9GkHtl3SU9N" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Say Hello To Sunshine by Finch on Spotify</a>. </p>
