Thought I'd let you all know that The Cinematics will answer any questions you have before wednesday 7th Oct at femalefirst (dot) co (dot) uk. There's also a Twitter competition to win signed CD's, Enjoy!
To everyone who has said they are reminded of Franz Ferdinand and Editors....
That was my initial reaction the first time I saw them and then I saw them again! There are a couple of bits in a couple of songs otherwise a much better band!!! I have seen Editors live and they have nothing on The Cinematics live.
I love this song although it reminds me of Franz Ferdinand's song This Fire. Might just be the beat or something lol but they are both from Glasgow which is uncanny.
A good song is a good song. I still like their songs and don't think they're 'crap' If you think they're crap go listen to Fall Out Boy or better yet, Rhianna, she samples New Order's Blue Monday in her song. So you think Cinematics arent original or have talent go listen to those bands and see that it's actually way worse.
So if you want something 'distinct' there is there. Just cuz it's not there in the guitar tunes doesn't mean it's there. The voice is different and pretty good and I'm very picky about voice. The lyrical content has a different feel to it compared to Editors, Franz, and I like analogies.
These kid are wild!...kinda like when you mix x with a martini, and your still flying from last nights lude....seriously....they are great! Looking for them in Dallas....

its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd!
So what? Does that mean they're not talented? Snow Patrol sounds like Keane, Keane apparently sounds like Coldplay and Coldplay sound like Travis but does it mean the 'copycats' are not talented? It's a style of music that's popular now, like Blur, Oasis and Verve.
Blur, Oasis and The Verve were actually quite different and unique (well the first two). What we see here is a complete regurgitation of the Franz Ferdinand/Strokes/Interpol/Kaiser Chiefs(may they never sell another album for humanities sake) template.
I'm not at all saying these guys dont have talent, just there is none evident in this mindless dollop of indie/post-punk/electro/synth-otica or whatever you kids call it these days.
Why you say? I actually think Verve and Oasis sound alike. And you didnt discuss Keane/Travis/Coldplay/Snow Patrol. They sound similiar.
My whole point is the fact that people think it's bad if bands sound alike and I'm telling you bands sound alike all the time, and because of style, what's in and what's out. More examples? Depeche Mode, New Order and both are amazing bands.
No. I think Verve and oasis are similar, but they and all the others mentioned have reasonable distinct sounds and songs etc. Depeche Mode and New Order both good, but both took quite different paths in the whole er, synth pop scene.
Video style, they were similar, both took control. I think some songs they sound similar, if you compare earlier Depeche Tunes with New Order in 80s and early 90s. Voice they sounded different.
ANd why aren't you mentioning Keane and the piano/soft rock genre. Do they not sound like? Yet a lot of people see them as distinct.
The guys in this video have almost exactly the same rhythms, drum beat and short guitar riffs that get trotted out by every Indie type band these days (mind you Indie means something a bot different to what it did when I was younger, now it covers chart stuff). With this tune I REALLY have heard it all before.
Actually to me, their album has a very different feel than other 'indie' bands. I hear a bit of the 80s, I hear a bit of The Smiths and that is what's distinct TO ME, because I definitely don't hear that in Franz Ferdinand. And the album is not all 'rock' and 'hard', sure they are not the best band, but I enjoy the lyrical content and Scott's voice, and it's way better than Franz in that sense (I'm a Franz fan btw)
DONT READ THIS! In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after. To be saved paste this to 5 other videos. THIS TRUE
I like the chorus. The opening riff sounds very similar to a Franz Ferdinand song, who is also from Scotland, I believe...wish I knew that song's name...

With all due respect to the talent of this band, nevertheless, if you were around in the '80's, this is deja vu. It's hard for me to believe that so much time has passed since then, that we are coming back around the fashion cycle, back to this trend which originate in the early 60's and was echoed in the 80's as "New Wave". Very good if you are young enough not to have been there.

umm... did you get your posts mixed up? not one of them has long hair unless you're used to buzz cuts. there's nothing soft about the song unless you're comparing them to black metal. i mean no one's beyond crticism, but at least you'd hope you'd get criticized for who you actually are.
ooh... I'm so sorry... so actually NO ONE has long hair? then... I was so wrong.. you like totally changed my point of view about all the business... and OF COURSE its not soft.. especially compared to metal. I mean, they were like korn and Slayer put together. how could I. dude, you have not the slightest bit of reasonable potential for judgement.
PS: And if you answer, that Korn or Slayer arent Black Metal, even the writers of Scary Movie are more originell than you.
