Manchester, United Kingdom (1998 – present)
Doves are an alternative rock band from Manchester, United Kingdom consisting of Jimi Goodwin (vocals, bass) and twin brothers Jez Williams (guitar) and Andy Williams (drums). They are joined on stage by Martin Rebelski (keys). They are known for their large, epic sound, which combines dovetailing guitar lines with driving percussion and a penchant for atmospherics. Unusually, both Williams brothers have also contributed lead vocals.
Originally formed in 1988 as Sub Sub, a dance act who coincided with the rise of the Hacienda and the rave scene from Manchester expanding outwards, they enjoyed moderate success for seven years including the hit single “Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use)” (#3 UK), before suffering the disaster of their studio burning down in 1996, taking all their current recordings with them. The experience, tragedy and pressure of that would inspire their name-change, in 1998, to Doves, and ultimately their first full-length album, Lost Souls released in April 2000. “Lost Souls” was a dark, atmospheric effort, full of brooding keyboards and claustrophobic light grooves, yet charted at number 13, mainly due to the top 40 singles, “The Cedar Room”, “Catch The Sun” and “The Man Who Told Everything”.
Two years later, Doves enjoyed their commercial and critical peak with their second album, The Last Broadcast, which charted at number 1 in the UK charts, spawning a hit single, “There Goes The Fear”, which reached number 3 in the chart.

Goddamn it, pornbots! Go the fuck away. Anyway, listening to Lost Souls still upsets me the fact "Reprise" wasn't omitted in favor of "Zither" on the original album. The latter would have made a perfect bookend to "Firesuite." The former actually detaches "A House" from the rest of the songs. P.S. Some Cities still ftw.

It was Zombieland and the song was "Kingdom of Rust." I know this because I was so busy pissing myself with excitement at hearing one of my favorite songs that I stopped paying attention to the film entirely.

You would think. I could've sworn one of their songs was featured on a recent movie, but unfortunately, no title springs to mind.
