The Films quote:
With influences and interests such as Elvis Costello, The Pixies, Elliott Smith, and The Zombies, The Films create a sound similar to what you might hear if The Beatles’ White Album asked Weezer’s Pinkerton to come over for a few drinks and then spent the night dancing to The Smiths’ Strangeways, Here We Come. “I’d like to think that we have a modern sound with obvious influences from 60’s brit pop and 80’s new wave” Trent says. “No big tricks up our sleeves, just a lot of focus on songwriting and melody.” The result is something a little more bawdy and unrefined - a refusal to be homogenized. “I think our music is pretty easy to get, but it’s not triumphant, or extreme pop,” Blake says. “Hopefully the honest aspect of our music stands out in any scene - whether it’s commercial or indie or whatever.”
