Film School are a very underrated band. I would go as far as to say one of THE most underrated bands of the past ten years. Formed in the late 90s, they released their fourth album yesterday. I only first let my ears loose on their music in 2008, after seeing them support British Sea Power, a band who formed at a very similar time to FS. Live, they struck me as a simple grunge band: a heavier, lo-fi Smashing Pumpkins. Now that doesn't sound like much of a compliment but their show really was fantastic. Soaring guitars were layered with violent distortion and Mascis-esque vocals to create awe-inspiring noise rock. Their songs were catchy, innovative and sharp.Their new album is full of similarly brilliant songs.
This is one of them called Heart full of Pentagons:
