Film References

Every song title, including their debut album Variations on Swing, is a line from a film with the only exception being Corey Feldman off their first demo "Promise me that we'll never be like them. I don't want to wind Up Like That. Relax, Baby. We're Going to Wind Up Like Us..." (which itself is a line from Blow). Furthermore their first EP ("And with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark where the wave hit the shore and rolled back") is a line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Famous quotes containing the word film:

    His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.
