The debut recording from Film School is the recalling of an early eighties alternative spirit mixed with an unprecedented fervent and conviction. "These SF alt-rockers are utterly enchanting" - Kerrang!
'Film School' began life as a group of like-minded San Francisco musicians writing and producing music by themselves for themselves. The result was something very special indeed. Undoubtedly they rock - hungry unrestrained guitars and loud driven drumbeats - but it is a sound as brooding, atmospheric and self-contained, as it is explosive and infectious. It is a sound that makes them memorable as well as unique and unequalled amongst their contemporaries, yet simultaneously it seems somehow familiar. It is the recalling of an early eighties alternative spirit mixed with an unprecedented fervent and conviction.
