On June 25th 2006, Final Thought took the stage for the first time at The Foundation Night Club in Barrie. Their catchy poetic lyrics, impressive stage performance and screaming fans and friends cheered them on to an exciting win over sixteen other local bands at The Supernova; “School’s Out” Battle of the Bands. Lead by songwriter Dustin Dopsa, Final Thought was formed in early 2006 when Dustin met guitarist Billy Malone. They instantly became friends, and quickly set search for a drummer. Zach Watson, a close friend and classmate of Dustin’s became the drummer and the three went on to pose for a number of flashy photographs for The Barrie Advance and Barrie Examiner newspapers. While the popularity of the band was quickly growing, the group went on to perform and compete for a spot on the bill of the Glass Tiger show at The Barrie Fair. Two days later the group again performed an impressive set at the fair, that ranged from the pretty acoustic ballad “Lost” to the overdriven, upbeat single; “Panic Attack.” One Star Studios was the next stop on the journey where the still trio filled their EP with catchy guitars and astonishing vocal harmonies. With recording finished, Final Thought went on to play yet another upbeat, crowd-pleasing set at The Summer Warfare Finals, which featured Silverstein as the headliner. Brandon Hawthorne was officially added as Final Thought’s bassist on his birthday in October, and the four then released their harmony filled and driven EP; “A reason to listen.” a month later. The boys went on to play two shows at Dustin and Zach’s half home, St. Peter’s Secondary, which would mark two more notches to their belt, followed by a headlining spot at The El Mocambo in Toronto. One month later Final Thought made their television debut with Rogers Television, and performed “Caskets” and “Panic Attack” live. Since then Final Thought has made appearances opening for such names as; Shotgun Rules, Seconds to Go, Attack In Black, Ten Second Epic, Sick City and Boys Night Out. Final Thought has reached a new level with their most recent single Hand Of Cards. Dopsa flaunts the ability of his vocal range and the guitars build up to huge half-time choruses. The pop/punk quartet are planning on recording and releasing a new disc in the near future, with many other tricks up their sleeve to keep the name Final Thought, ever growing.
