FILMS came together during the guys' second year at Leeds University, when Joe showed Gwil, Gus and Thom some songs he'd written over the past few years. A small set was quickly developed using these and newly-written songs, and the band began to build a modest reputation through some crammed gigs in their front room.

To date FILMS have headlined such venues as The Faversham, HiFi and The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, as well as playing gigs in Manchester and London. They have recently been working on their 
first EP, recording at Universal in London and with producer Charlie 
Andrew in his studio in Shoreditch.

Their music, which they uncertainly label (for want of a better name) jump- or trip-folk, has, in their words, a pert and merciless sound. The sound is pushed and pulled, borrowing and wedging various lo-fi, hip hop and folky pockets to make a haunting and original mulch.
