A wonderful Indie-pop band.
Death Cab for Cutie is good.

A wonderful young group singed by Barsuk records from the indie-rock homeland of Washington State. Name came from a psychedlic song from the 60's.

Not emo. Unfortunately, if you write lyrics that are borderline depressing you get labeled "emo" when their music is more in line with other bands of that areas like Modest Mouse, and even The Shins.

Easily one of the greatest bands today.
Emo? Please. Bright Eyes sounds even less emo these days.

An AMAZING band that should be commended for their awesome melodic tunes and beautiful lyrical talent.
Seeing them live was easily the best concert I have ever been to. They sound exactly the same as they do recorded, and 4 weeks later, I am still in awe of their remarkable talent. I will always always love Death Cab.
My favourite songs for newcomers who would like to download some Death Cab For Cutie ; I Was A Kaleidoscope, Styrofoam Plates, Passenger Seat, Blacking Out The Friction, Expo '86, Hindsight, Company Calls, What Sarah Said and I Will Follow You Into The Dark.
The Sound of Settling is Death Cab at it's worst. I hate that song.

A way to relive every past heart break while appreciating the journey that brought you to the point in your life where you have learned and moved on from past relationships. Death Cab for Cutie defines the matters of the heart that surface when your mind is wandering somewhere between past and future and you stop and truly feel a fraction of those painful feelings again. A talented bunch who should be sampled by those who have the time to listen to the albums through and through. They cover all relationship issues from long distance to growing up.
OMG, I mean seriously no one gets me! It's just so frustrating.- frustrated girl
Really? I used to think that, but seriously now I know...Death Cab for Cutie understands me. And how I really feel at night when I am laying in my lumpy bed...alone.-understood guy

Possibly the best band that's ever existed. Oh, and by the way, they're not emo.
Annoying Jerk: Death Cab for Cutie sucks. They're giant pussies. Why don't you listen to good music, like death metal?
Girl: First of all: I don't listen to death metal because I can't understand a single word they're trying to sing. Second of all: Death Cab completely owns every other band that exists. Ever.

A band that is absolutely amazing.
They were formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997.

If you ever call them emo, you automatically deserve to get punched in the face. They are emotional but so much deeper than emo. Some call them indie-pop but they can't be completely classified.

Although their latest album, Codes and Keys, is not as amazing as the others, it is still great.
In my opinion, their best CD is probably Transatlanticism. The songs have so much meaning to them.

Honestly, if you ever thought your relationship was too unique or special to be summed up in a song, look to Death Cab, they've been there, done that.
Idiot: Hurr durr, Death Cab for Cutie is a dumb emo band! Hurr durr!
Me: They are n-
Idiot: Their songs actually make you think! How awful!
Me: That's a go-
Idiot: Listen to good stuff like Kesha!
Me: I'm done with this -punches idiot-
