Finch reformed in late 2007, performed at a few American West Coast shows and began booking more dates for 2008. During Finch's early 2008 reunion shows, the band began debuting new songs live. These new songs would later become part of the four-song EP titled "Finch". The digital version of the EP was released on July 22, 2008, and a CD version exclusive to Hot Topic was released shortly thereafter due to a manufacturing delay. The EP is notable for being the band's first album that was released independently of a record label. Finch spent most of 2008 touring in support of the release, including a July/August headlining tour with Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Foxy Shazam and Tickle Me Pink.
