Death Cab for Cutie is an American Emo/Indie band formed in Bellingham, WA in 1997. The band consists of Ben Gibbard (vocals/guitar/piano), Chris Walla (guitar/production/ keys), Nick Harmer (bass), and Jason McGerr (drums). Gibbard took the band name from the title of the song written by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall and performed by their group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, in The Beatles' 1967 film, Magical Mystery Tour. Death Cab for Cutie began as a solo project of Ben Gibbard while he was the guitar player for the band Pinwheel and was recording under the name All-Time Quarterback. As Death Cab for Cutie, Gibbard released a cassette titled You Can Play These Songs with Chords; the release was surprisingly successful and Gibbard decided to expand the project into a complete band. This is their tune "I Will Possess Your Heart" off of their sixth release Narrow Stairs.
