The Cinematics

Following the success of several gloomy post-punk revival bands, the Cinematics formed in 2003 and hail from Glasgow, Scotland, after originally meeting in Dingwall. Inspired by the likes of the Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen, the band includes guitarist Ramsay Miller, bassist Adam Goemans, drummer Ross Bonney, and vocalist/guitarist Scott Rinning. By 2005, the Cinematics were touring the U.K. with Ambulance LTD, the Editors, and Brendan Benson, also signing with TVT Records.
