When around 3pm on Friday they took the stage at the Heineken Jammin Festival, the four guys from Legnano immediately left all the tensions behind them.
'We were loaded!' he will say Stethe band's bass player, in the press room at the end of their set... and they proved it amply with a convincing performance. Opening a festival is never easy, especially when you are a young Italian band, but the FINLEY have managed to earn the respect of the more adult audience (who flocked to Morrisey and Depeche Mode) as well as making their fans sing and jump.
'Anything is possible' was greeted by a standing ovation, as was the successful cover of the Green Day 'St. Jimmy'.
Testifying to all the energy that Finley were able to unleash, came the attention of the most important media and the press, which devoted space to them that is not usually granted to festival openers.
