In early summer of 2004, San Francisco's Finest Dearest began practicing in a basement bedroom, hashing out concepts and ideas. After a series of musical chairs in the lineup, the band emerged with a bolder, more confident sound as showcased on their new self-titled, full length album released in April 2008 on Bloodtown Records.

Finest Dearest announced a few weeks ago that they were heading to Different Fur Studios in San Francisco to record a just-for-fun split with their pals, Empty Rooms.
