Film School is a band with impressively eclectic influences (Floyd, The Who, obscure electronica, metal, drone, alternative 80's), a grandiose collective musical history and a healthy bout of critical acclaim. Rave live reviews in the NME and the Fly followed their UK visit in September 2004, supporting TV On The Radio.

Together they create a majestically epic, sonic suffused wall-of-sound, laced with such unprecedented fervour and conviction it transcends the early-eighties alternative spirit it sometimes recalls, delivering something unequalled and inimitable.
