Death Cab for Cutie is an American alternative rock band, formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997.

Name Origin:
Gibbard took the band name from the song Death Cab for Cutie by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (off their 1967 album "Gorilla")

The song's name was in turn taken from an invented pulp fiction crime magazine "The Uses of Literacy" by Richard Hoggart, as part of his 1957 study of working class culture.

In a 2011 interview, Gibbard stated, "The name was never supposed to be something that someone was going to reference 15 years on. So yeah, I would absolutely go back and give it a more obvious name.

Quotes:
"I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back."
-Death Cab For Cutie
from The New Year (2003)
