Crooked Fingers is led by former Archers of Loaf lead singer Eric Bachmann. The band released albums on WARM Records and Merge Records before going completely independent in 2008 and tends to have a rotating lineup.

Following the breakup of Archers of Loaf in 1998, Bachmann started work on a solo project that he named Crooked Fingers. The first release of this project, a self-titled release of various songs he had written, was released by WARM in 2000. It was followed shortly after by a second album on WARM, Bring on the Snakes.

Following the release of Bring on the Snakes, Crooked Fingers signed to Merge. Under that label, Crooked Fingers released Reservoir Songs EP in 2002, composed of cover songs of artists such as Neil Diamond and Queen. Red Devil Dawn followed this in 2003, his first full-length for Merge.

Dignity and Shame was released in 2005. In October 2008, the band released a new album, Forfeit/Fortune. The band declined to sign a deal with any label, pursuing a direct-to-retail approach supported by sales at shows, the band's website, iTunes, and eMusic.
