The Cinematics were a very good band that had a very unique sound. Alternative Rock is just a very simple, vague description of their sound. Their music was certainly Rock, but it also had kind of a dreamy sound to it as well. At times they reminded me at bit of Coldplay, Bloc Party, and U2 mixed together. Can you imagine such a sound? Well, you don’t have to, just listen to the music presented to you. MarsBands.com recommends you check out The Cinematics, even if they have broken up. They still have good music out there for you to listen to.
