A staple on the Seattle music scene from 1996 until their demise is 2001, The Cinematics brightened the post-Grunge years with their melodic and intricate Power Pop.

Started in 1996 by Pat Partington and Brian R. Bell, the two soon recruited Kirk Bentley on Bass and Keyboards and Jarrod Arbini on Drums. The lineup was complete when Super Deluxe frontman Braden Blake recommended Candace "Candy" Coalman as a vocalist. The Cinematics raced out of the gate with 1997's "Bedford Falls," a Power Pop gem of an EP that got airplay on local and regional radio stations and garnered national attention due to a cover story in Gig Magazine and on through rave reviews on internet sites like Popmatters.com. "Bedford Falls" was engineered and produced by noted Northwest producer Martin Feveyear and was a strong representation of what fans could expect of the band in the live arena.
