* * UPDATE * * August 2003
Film were offered a record deal by Maverick records, the band showcased at the legendary Viper Room in LA, then met with Maverick VP Guy OCeary. He offered the band a deal and they flew back to Atlanta to negotiate. The next day, lead singer Michael Lee quit the band, told Maverick he wrote all the songs on his own and took Film''s deal.
He hooked up with former Stroke9 Manager Tim OBrien and spent a couple of years getting a new band together called The Rising. He re-recorded 2 Film songs (from ''rolling'') Q and Coming Down. To try and avoid paying Film royalties for the use of their songs, he changed the name of Q to So Alive. You can get the full story from https://www.tradebit.com
Film have just finished recording new songs which are up on their official site https://www.tradebit.com
Please help us out by buying our CD, and not buying The Rising cd ''Future Unknown''. The only 2 good songs on that CD are Film''s songs anyway. We are trying to raise enough money to fight The Rising and Maverick Records in court, but its a classic "little band vs major label" story.
Thanks for checking us out!!
