Finn Riggins is the winner of this week's CMJ Sonicbids Spotlight. The Idaho-based band recently released their debut full-length, A Soldier, A Saint, An Ocean Explorer (Tender Loving Empire), to rave reviews, even we called it a "both bright and lively record" that "spans multiple genres with ease and rare proficiency." The album has been receiving a number of spins on stations like KUOI, KWRS, and KUCI and the quirky three-piece will try to win over new fans when they head out on tour this month.
