Fingertight was an American band from Martinez, California. The group released one album on Columbia Records before breaking up in the mid-2000s.

History

Fingertight began as a local group playing in the San Francisco area, and self-released an album which they promoted heavily through internet channels such as mp3.com.

The album was produced by Tobias Miller and Bill Appleberry, and the group performed at Lollapalooza following its release. [ [http://www.maximumink.com/articles.php?articleId=346 Fingertight] .
