Charleston, South Carolina?s THE FILMS, formed in 2003 when four high school acquaintances with different musical pasts, found themselves scrapping to stay alive in America?s south. Now, after relentless touring and stirring in the southeast, raising brows from Raleigh to Birmingham, Michael Trent (Vocals, Guitar), Jake Sinclair (Bass, Vocals), Kenneth Harris (Guitar, Keys, Vocals) and Adam C. Blake (Drums) have finally waxed twelve brand new hits wrought with spit, grit, attitude, despair, and charm. Recorded in early months of 2006, trading their southern comforts for northern winter at The Loft studios in eastern Michigan, with a tireless schedule, held up on the floor of a dirty lake house THE FILMS conceived their debut album DON?T DANCE RATTLESNAKE. Provoked by a their taste for country/folk roots, American rock of the 50?s, British pop of the 60?s, 70?s glam and punk, new wave, and britpop DON?T DANCE RATTLESNAKE is a dirty, frantic fit of the Beatles, Blur, the Rolling Stones, Bowie, the Kinks, Elvis Costello, and Elvis Presley with the sadness of Gram Parsons and swagger of Marc Bolan.
