At first glance, there’s a lot that could leave you to believe Final Thought are like every other band trying to crack the code in the music industry hailing from the suburbs. But does every other band of fresh faced high school graduates get rotation on major radio stations like Rock 95 without a debut album even released yet? Does every other band open for the likes of Silverstein, Boys Night Out, Ten Second Epic, Social Code, and Shotgun Rules after being together for less than two years? You see, Final Thought is really not like other bands after all. In fact, they are quite different.
Front man Dustin Dopsa, started Final Thought in 2006 and soon began writing all their songs himself and stamping them with his brand of unique melodic pop-rock. The band soon started to build a loyal following in their hometown of Barrie, Ontario for their extremely energetic live performances and catchy-as-heck tunes. Promoters, radio DJs, and a slew of wide-eyed kids took notice.
The band will start 2009 off on the right foot with the release of their new EP, Take This Home on January 27th and an all ages CD release party in Barrie at the Native Friendship Center on January 30th. With the help of two new members added into the fold, Barrie music scene staples, Emmett Morris (Tokyo Showdown, Rockets!) will assume second guitarist duties, and Tom Watson (Count Me In, Flatline Endings) on drums, as well as founding member Brandon Hawthorne on bass, Dopsa has found within him some of the most potent songs raging with anthem-sized hooks and choruses. Hear the first infectious single from the forthcoming debut EP, “Take You Home†and you’ll be begging for more. These songs are a huge step away from the first incarnation of Final Thought that you heard playing to packed venues in 2006 and 2007. More refined and stronger than ever, Take This Home is sure to be the sound of 2009 and the sound of a band ready to take Canada by storm and break out of their sometimes-constraining hometown. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

"Final Thought is one young band that seems to have the formula to success written on the back of their palm."
