You can't run from what you are. FingerCuff unabashedly wear their influences and their life stories on their sleeve. A shot Punk Rock and a half pint Southern Rock, mixed with little Americana combine like the ingredients to a good stiff drink to provide the listener a needed break from current corporate rock trends. FingerCuff's music ranges from slide guitar driven "Catch My Wave", to the melodic roots tinged "Crack of Dawn", to the crashing power chords of "Right or Wrong".

FingerCuff songs focus on the hard won truths and realities of living - relationships between men & women, fathers & sons, love, lust, & obsession. Originally formed in Hammond, Louisiana in 2001 by Dino Lucius, Brent Lewis, & Ralph Wood. FingerCuff started out as a trio. Scott Hargrove joined the band in March 2003. In October 2004 Ralph left the group and Chris is now taking on t he drums. The members of FingerCuff have been making music for over ten years. 

After bouncing around the bayou rock 'n roll scene for years, Dino was reported missing in action. There were rumors of him taking a day gig, a symptom of his vast over-education. It was also heard that he was dabbling in the blues. But, as the millennium turned, he resurfaced in the rock world, laying down the bottom in FingerCuff. His sound, a mixture of Noel Redding and Dee Dee Ramone, is a bi-product of his influences of straight ahead rock ‘n roll (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Crowes, Concrete Blonde, and Janis) and dirty low-down blues (Buddy Guy, Freddie King, SRV, and The North Mississippi All-Stars). Dino firmly believes that: "it's not Bass unless you can feel it in your chest, and it's not a rock song unless someone dies, is drunk, or is very pissed-off."

Chris Ramghun, a professionally trained and fulltime musician from Mandeville, LA. Chris has 4yrs of classical and symphonic music training from the University of Southeastern LA. He has also privately taught drums and has played for such bands as Driver 8 and Lucky Bridgewater.

Scott Hargrove, a formally trained guitarist, draws influence Jimmy Page, Angus Young, & Rossington / Collins / Gaines. His sound is both muscular and textures making it completely unique and a perfect for FingerCuff.

Brent spent equal time skateboarding and playing guitar while he was growing up. His vocals are both melodic and gruff, a whisper to a scream, allowing the music to surge and retreat. A straight-ahead rhythm guitar, Brent anchors the music. Both Scott and Brent have played in the Northshore band, Lucky Bridgewater.  

Disguised as mild mannered professionals; an attorney, a college professor, elementary P.E. teacher, and a massage therapist, FingerCuff has been two-year odyssey of rock-n-roll shows and minor brushes with the law. Playing every show as if it might be their last, FingerCuff has been storming southeastern Louisiana clubs such as The Howlin' Wolf, Spanish Moon, Checkpoint Charlie's, Augustine's, The Thirsty Tiger and the Dixie Tavern. FingerCuff's motto is no glam, no glitz, and no bullshit.
