Butterfinger is a Saskatchewan-based Canadian alternative/rock band having released an independently recorded studio album.
Their award-winning song, Breathe won several awards including the national songwriting competition in conjunction with Canadian Music Week in 2001. The song was quickly a regular request and was played frequently in several Western Canadian Markets. Due to the success of Breathe, the band was inspired to work on a full-length album project, directed by Producer, Mixer, and Engineer Jared Kuemper.
Butterfinger was nominated for "Outstanding Rock Recording" at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2003.[1]
In November 2003, Butterfinger was awarded a VideoFACT grant to shoot a music video for the song, "Do You Feel". They were one of only 40 to receive the grant out of the 284 submissions. The video was produced by a Toronto film company called Firewatch Films.[2]
The band has not released any new music since 2004, and the band is currently inactive.
