Death Cab for Cutie

Overview

When bands have been around for a while they sometimes end up being pigeonholed into one genre, target audience and general career path. Which for some is horrible, but for others it suits them just fine – knowing who they are leads to amazing music time after time.

Death Cab for Cutie and certainly fall into labels such as emotional, melodramatic and full of angst. Which is fair enough, all things considered they do have some fantastically titled emotive songs – Your Heart Is An Empty Room, The Ice is Getting Thinner and Someday You Will be Loved for example.

But before you put genre stereotypes so far into play that you disregard the band, a little brainstorm about their discography and longevity in the music industry should be in order. Those two reasons alone are more than enough reason to respect Death Cab for Cutie.

Finally returning to Australia after three years, the band is back to promote their seventh album (lucky seven!) entitled ‘Codes and Keys’. Already receiving a great response from fans and critics alike, their trademark sensitive indie pop rock is out in full force. They’ve also brought out an EP remix, set to introduce new audiences to their music. Alas, per usual their tour is sold out.  If you are currently without tickets it’s probably best for you to create a sad playlist and enjoy Death Cab from the comfort of your own bedroom. Breaking into the Tivoli is not recommended.
