There are two bands called The Cinematics. 1) The Cinematics are a Scottish band currently based in Glasgow. They formed in Glasgow in autumn 2003, although they already knew one another from their hometown of Dingwall. Scott Rinning (lead vocals, guitar) and Ross Bonney (drums) relocated to Glasgow for university, whilst the other two band members Ramsay Miller (lead guitar) and Adam Goemans (bass guitar) moved to Glasgow to attend music college. The band were signed by Lenny Johnson, head of A&R at TVT Records in 2005 after playing at an "In the City" showcase gig in Manchester. The band cite their influences as ranging from The Clash to Talking Heads, and are making a name for themselves in supporting acts such as Editors, Mute Math, We Are Scientists, Snow Patrol and The Bravery. Enjoying success in the USA and continental Europe, as well as the United Kingdom, with their singles "Chase" and "Break", The Cinematics' latest single, "Keep Forgetting", was released in February 2007. Their long-awaited debut album A Strange Education was produced by Stephen Hague (New Order, Blur, Pet Shop Boys), and released on March 6th, 2007. Ramsay Miller announced his departure from the band via MySpace bulletin on March 6th, 2008, citing situations surrounding the band and personal reasons. He has been replaced by Larry Reid, previously of Blitzhoney. 2) The Cinematics was the earliest musical project of Tim Vass and Gregory Webster, later of the Creation act Razorcuts. Their only release was the Farewell to the Playground EP on Pulsebeat from 1982.
