Shaolin Finger Jab
Shaolin Finger Jab is an American indie rock band originating in Brooklyn, Ny. It is made up of founders Tony Fingers and A. Garb and other rotating contributors. The band was originally formed in 2006 and is heavily influenced by the lo-fi movement of the 1990's. The band first started as a unique hardcore punk band that would often fuse hardcore music with hip hop lyrics most notably wu-tang clan songs even sampling the groups kung fu flick sounds for intros and outros, but also other influences such as Daniel Johnston. Eventually main songwriter A. Garb would evolve the band into a more melodic indie rock sound. They have been on their own label, POS Records since their inception. The band has currently been on hiatus since 2012 citing drug problems, jail, rehab and some members moving as the reason for the brake.
