Biography
InFlightMovie came together in the summer of 2005 in Leeds, UK- where all members are currently studying music production. After a failed attempt at creating a band combining electronica and live instruments, a rethink in sound and a reshuffle in members formed InFlightMovie. After the first few writing sessions, IFM got into the studio to lay down 'Cassbah' and 'Beach Wreckage', before buying a van and starting to play their songs live.
They immediately got stuck in by slowly building a national fanbase from shows all over the country. All shows got the same positive responses, selling out of cds and badges at every gig, from Exeter (where there was a fight over the last CD halfway through the bands set), to Nottingham and Preston (where the band were living it up signing autographs, set lists and cds- a weird experience!).
The big break-through came about in early 2006 when the band were picked from 90 applicants for the Leeds Bright Young Things Project. As part of this the band got a professional photo shoot, showcase gig (at the HiFi Club Leeds) and recording session with top producer Bruce Wood (The Clash, Nightmares On Wax, The Cribs).
In this same month the band were informed they had also been picked from near 1000 applicants nation-wide for the 3 Student Music Awards. They were taken down to London to film a promotional video for the song Fracture, which is now enjoying heavy rotation on the University union station, Sub Tv to an average monthly audience of 2.5 millions people. They also got a slot on the Student Music Awards tour, supporting 'Dogs' at Preston University, to 400 people.
The next move for the band is to play as much as possible, continue to build up the growing national fanbase and get as many people to hear their music as possible.

InFlightMovie blend acoustic instruments, ambient piano, various synths and angular guitars to create a haunting, beautiful and edgy sound reminiscent of Interpol and New Order. (BBC Leeds)
Mastering a good tune is a talent. Mastering dynamics is also nothing to be scoffed at. Mastering both is something many bands often struggle with, but not InFlightMovie. (Sandman Magazine-Leeds)
"InFlightMovie was the peak of the night. The audience loved them and the quality of the music was a world better than the previous acts with a distinctly original flavour as well. They were a great live act with plenty of energy and charisma. They are a real rounded band with no obvious weak links." (Josh Withey- BBc Shropshire)
"Oh my. Only very very occasionally does one hear a demo and instantly cry out "Yes! More!" (well actually, I've never done that, I've actually lied to help make my point. Anyway, onwards.). One of the few times this happened (or might have happened, were I that way inclined) was upon hearing the demo by InFlightMovie. Golly it's good."-(Sandman Magazine)
"Your music is better than sex!" (Nate of Norwich)
