Music to watch girls cry

If you spent 2005 overdosing on the stripped, monochrome sounds of Bloc Party et al and now find your ears yearning for something weightier and wilder, San Francisco’s Film School may have just what you seek. Combining the otherworldly melancholy of The Cure with the feral psychedelia of My Bloody Valentine, the group’s dirty, desperate take on widescreen rock has resulted in an addictive and immersive debut album – a thing of stormy beauty that’ll provide a suitably dramatic soundtrack to any relationship break-ups heading your way.


Joe Madden 19 January 05 rating of 4
Film School - Film School, released 23 January 05 on Beggar’s Banquet.
