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.

wtf? fuck twilight, although i do like Kristen Stewart, she was great in Speak, poor girl's career is being destroyed by these shitty vampire movies, but I digress, ehm, fuck twilight, twilight didn't make DCFC cool, DCFC made themselves cool, they kick the shit out of everything thrown their way, even great bands like the killers must bow to the almightiness of Death Cab. honestly, death cab IS where soul meets body!

Yeah, they got known also by their albums,especially by their albums. Being divulged by a serie doesn't mean they were not recognized or not good. That just didn't happened yet at that time, they were supposed to blast on 'fame' sometime - or recognition of the public who knows what is good sound - and that really happened when The OC was on. Well, that's what I think or at least that's what happened here.

i'm pretty sure the band have existed since 1998, hence that quote making no sense whatsoever,a fair percentage of the fans got into them via facts/the photo album.

And I Will Follow You Into The Dark was also in the movie The Invisible. That's how I learned of them, but they're also played on the radio a lot, so no TV show/movie made them popular.

Twilight and the OC made Death Cab cool? What the fuck? Twilight and The OC suck and are about as uncool as it gets...
