During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (December 16), Finn said Joe introduced him to a lot of music that became a catalyst for his own music.

Joe is a huge influence for me, and still is,” Finn said. “His band’s amazing. He was one of the first people I ever knew that was actually in a band. Before Stranger Things came out, he was kind of a cool, older brother. I was twelve and he was 22? He was like fresh out of being in a really cool psych rock band in Chicago, and introduced me to a ton of music that I think really informed everything.”

“I wouldn’t be here without Joe,” he added.

While on The Tonight Show, Finn also teased the upcoming final episodes of their hit Netflix series.

During a segment, Jimmy had the actor attribute one word to describe each of the upcoming episodes.

Episode 5 – “Crispy”; Episode 6 – “Shocking”; Episode 7 – “Enlightening”; and Episode 8 – “Emotional.”

Earlier this week, the trailer for Volume 2 was released – Check it out!

Stranger Things season five returns with new episodes NEXT Thursday, Christmas Day (December 25) at 8pm ET/5pm PT on Netflix.
