The Films were an American indie pop rock band from Charleston, South Carolina, and consisted of Michael Trent, Kenneth Harris, Jake Sinclair, and Adam Blake.[1] The band members met in high school and in 2006 recorded/produced the EP Being Bored. That same year, the band released their debut album Don't Dance Rattlesnake which earned them a substantial fan following in Germany and Japan.[1][2] Their next album Oh, Scorpio was released on Warner in 2009. They toured Germany as part of the Jägermeister Rock Liga tour in 2009.[1][3] After another European tour in 2010, the band broke up, because of what Trent later explained as a result of running out of momentum, money and "hope for the project".[4]
