Hometown: Melbourne, Fla.Sounds Like: Death Cab For Cutie, Mineral, the Album Leaf
The Story: If Finland frontman Josh Fleenor's voice sounds familiar to you, it may be because of its eerie similarity to the vocals of indie icon Ben Gibbard. The budding band from Melbourne, Fla., is well aware of the obvious comparison but maintains a gentle, dreamy guitar-pop sound that is all its own. The guys showcase their knack for melody on the song 'Through These Walls,' which may also elicit Death Cab comparisons. Fans have started buzzing about Finland on OurStage, but the band hasn't quite reached rock star status just yet -- the members' current jobs include pizza delivery boys, a cook and a Nike employee. Keep an eye (and an ear) out as they start making their way up the indie-rock food chain.
