They have currently released six studio albums. Best known for their songs One Thing, Slow Chemical and Paralyzer, Finger Eleven is an alternative rock band that has earned a devoted following. Their first album, Letters From Chutney, was recorded under the name Rainbow Butt Monkeys, with money won from a rock band search contest on local radio.
They changed their name to Finger Eleven for their breakthrough Tip, released on Mercury Records in Canada in 1997, and re-released by Wind-Up Records in the United States in 1998. The name Finger Eleven comes from an earlier version of the song Thin Spirits from the album Tip. Lead singer, Scott Anderson explains: "when everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another--that’s finger eleven."
A year later, drummer Rob Gommerman left the band and was replaced by Rich Beddoe. In 2000 they released The Greyest of Blue Skies. 2003's self-titled album Finger Eleven was a commercial success, spawning the single One Thing which reached #16 in the US. The band also recorded the song Slow Chemical for WWE superstar Kane and Daaam! (feat. Tha Alkaholiks) on the compilation album Loud Rocks.
Them vs. You vs. Me, was released on March 6, 2007 and contains the singles Paralyzer, Falling On, I'll Keep Your Memory Vague, and Talking To The Walls.

Finger Eleven Lyrics
Above Inside I'm gone You knew that all along Without the distance…
Drag You Down It's biting it's teething it's biting I'm bleeding It's call…
Falling On FALLING ON When you feel so close to some resolve And you…
First Time I had never thought We were hanging on But the fall looks…
Good Times Something has stuck in underneath my skin Eyes all looking i…
I'll Keep Your Memory Vague This won't break your heart But I just think it could Cause…
Living In A Dream I was never the kind To be taking my time Any place…
One Thing Restless tonight 'Cause I wasted the light Between both thes…
Paralyzer I hold on so nervously To me and my drink I wish…
Slow Chemical The wonder of the world is gone I know for…
Together Right When the bad news breaks And I'm there in the headlines When…
Welcome To The Machine Welcome my son, Welcome to the machine. Where have you been …
