Throughout 2004, between gigging everywhere from Atlanta to Nashville to Birmingham and back, The Films holed up in Charleston hosting scene parties where Libertines records would always end up on the stereo, playing three hour sets of Beatles, Kinks and Zombies covers in downtown wine bars to pay the rent.

The Films were signed to Warner Brothers a mere four days before they moved out to their Brooklyn rock warehouse in 2005. At which point they scrapped all their previous songs and wrote an entire new album in the time it takes most bands to skin up properly.

Anyway, the Films emerged from that cartoon hell playing fast and loose, silly and sleazy raunch'n'roll.

RIYL - stuff I don't like. The "reg rock" and "garage rock" crowd + Babyshambles fans may dig these guys.

Speaking of reg rock, has anyone actually heard this album? I can't find it anywhere.

To my ears, this new one is a nice improvement. Less garage rock and slower - sounds like they're finding their own sound. Still has handclaps plainly audible too.
