The Cinematics
Band Dingwall United Kingdom Active 2003–2011 Scottish post-punk/indie rock band
The Cinematics formed in 2003 in Dingwall, United Kingdom and was active until 2011. The Cinematics has 2 chart appearances on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 2007. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Break”, which appears on 2 lists with a best position of #52. The station that charted The Cinematics most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2007.
The Cinematics formed in Glasgow in 2003 and played the post-punk revival straight: Scott Rinning on lead vocals, Larry Reid on guitar, Adam Goemans on bass and Ross Bonney on drums, with Ramsay Miller also in the lineup. The sound is all brooding atmosphere and taut, chiming guitar, the kind of widescreen gloom their name promises.
A Strange Education, their 2007 debut, carried "Break", and Love and Terror followed in 2009. The Silent Scream EP, five tracks long, came out in 2010, and then the band split in 2011, partway through recording a third album.
