FINGER ELEVEN will release its sixth studio album, and first in five years, appropriately titled "Five Crooked Lines", on July 31 via The Bicycle Music Company/Concord. The album's first single, "Wolves And Doors", is available on digital online retail outlets today and hits radio this week. A video for the song premieres today on VEVO. Check it out below. 　　When FINGER ELEVEN — Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (guitar), Rick Jackett (guitar) and Sean Anderson (bass) — decided to start writing the follow-up to their 2010 album "Life Turns Electric", the band members all agreed they wanted to do something different. Since their formation in high school in 1990 (as RAINBOW BUTT MONKEYS), they had released seven full-length albums — including the 2007 Juno Award-winning "Them Vs. You Vs. Me", which featured the smash hit single "Paralyzer" — and experimented with a variety of styles such as hard rock, classic rock, heavy blues and textural pop. So, over a two-and-a-half-year period, they decided to try a bit of everything over a multitude of writing sessions. 　　As the members pored through the material they had written, they agreed that the best songs, the ones that rang truest and were the most natural, were the more aggressive ones. So, instead of spit-polishing the mixes and layering the tunes with heart-rending guitar arpeggios and keys, they toughened up, building muscular walls of riffs and performing with a forcefulness and energy reminiscent of their earliest days.
