Death Cab for Cutie is an American rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band consists of Ben Gibbard (vocals, guitar, piano), Chris Walla (guitar), Nicholas Harmer (bass) and Jason McGerr (drums).
Death Cab began as a solo project of Ben Gibbard, now the band’s vocalist and guitarist. Gibbard took the band name from the satirical song
Death Cab for Cutie, performed by The Bonzo Dog Band in The Beatles’ 1967 experimental film Magical Mystery Tour. As Death Cab for Cutie, Gibbard released a cassette titled You Can Play These Songs With Chords; the release was surprisingly successful, and Gibbard decided to expand the band into a complete project. He recruited Chris Walla (who had also worked on the cassette) as an electric guitarist, Nick Harmer as bass guitarist, and Nathan Good to play drums.
The four released the LP Something About Airplanes on August 18th 1998. The album was favorably reviewed in the independent music scene, and in 2000 the band released We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes. Nathan Good left the band at some point during this album’s production. His playing on “The Employment Pages” and “Company Calls Epilogue” were kept, but Gibbard played drums on all other songs.
Michael Schorr would first appear on The Forbidden Love E.P., released on October 24, 2000. In 2001, another LP was released, entitled The Photo Album. Limited editions of this album contained three bonus tracks, which were later released separately as The Stability EP.

Why is everybody acting like DCFC's fanbase wasn't already composed of 14 year old fangirls? Just a heads up, they're not getting any new fans from Twilight because all those people already jam out to "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" and "Soul Meets Body." [2]

I'm glad when they tour in Australia they mainly do over age shows when they could just as easy cater to the under age fans. They have a crowd of older fans, tweens , and fans who think plans was the first record.

"Why not? Its a film soundtrack, they havent sold their souls to the devil..." It is the type of fans they will attract that bothers me. It will be like Muse, a good majority of the idiotic Twilight fans will only listen to a max of five songs by the artist off the soundtrack and claim to be their biggest fan. I have seen it happen at school and on the internet with people to Muse, it is just annoying to a person who devotes a good amount of listening to a band to become a major fan. :/ I didn't mind it happening to Muse because I don't like Muse, but not Thom Yorke, DCFC, and Grizzly Bear! DDD:

Hmm. It's seems pretty clear to me that they have, in fact, sold their souls to The Devil.
