Who was Jerry Finn?

Jerry Finn was an American record producer. He worked with numerous punk rock and pop-punk bands, such as Blink-182, Morrissey, AFI, Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, MxPx, Rancid, Green Day, Sum 41, and The Offspring.

Finn was instrumental in developing the polished sound of pop-punk in its second wave of popularity during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Alternative Press wrote that Finn often "helped rough punk bands refine their sound, and helped them discover the power of a good vocal hook." Finn was behind the boards for many popular and acclaimed recordings in his lifetime; he mixed Green Day's Dookie and produced Blink-182's Enema of the State, MxPx's The Ever Passing Moment, Sum 41's All Killer, No Filler and AFI's Sing the Sorrow.
