Biography

For the New Jersey based rock band The Finals, 2006 proved to be a pivotal year. With the release of their first full length album “Plan Your Getaway” on Immortal Records, the band was in full swing, extensively touring the U.S. in support until singer/bassist Matt Reilly faced a life changing decision. After a few months on the road, Reilly decided to leave the band.

Left without a singer, the remaining members (Jason Sazer - Guitar/Vocals, Lou Bottone - Guitar, Joshua Sazer - Drums, Christian Kisala - Keyboards) were unsure of their future. Lou Bottone states, “I was relieved and worried at the same time. I knew we would continue to be a band, but with a new record out and no singer I wasn’t sure how we’d recover.” After meeting with management, the band made the decision to move forward by posting anonymous ads online in search of a replacement.

Andrew Seagle , a musician from North Carolina whose band had just broken up, saw one of the posts. Coaxed by his girlfriend, Seagle responded to the ad. With nothing holding him back, Seagle hopped on a plane and headed to New Jersey. Well armed with the four tunes the band requested, he immediately impressed the group, and was offered the position after just a few hours. “He was more than we could have hoped for,” states keyboardist Christian Kisala. “He’s the total package, musician wise, and more importantly… personality wise.”
