Okay, before you vote, I'd like you to read this. As some of you may know, Death Cab and The Postal Service have the same lead singer, so I was just wondering which of the two you like better since each band has the same voice but different sound.
Now if you've only heard of the Postal Service (since they've been getting some airplay lately) and you haven't even heard of Death Cab For Cutie please don't vote, unless you've listened to both bands recently.
I'm actually fond of both bands, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought, too.
Mucho love,
Alyson

They've been mentioned tons of times on the OC and have been used in many of their soundtracks. Everyone knows about Death Cab For Cutie now.

yeah i know, on the episode i watched they were played in the background, and there's always those articles about how "the oc is so indie" and they're mentioned, but i still find it weird. i guess i shouldn't be surprised since i also heard them and the shins in american eagle yesterday

Proud to say I've only seen one episode of the OC because my friend forced me to watch Mischa Barton make out with some chick.
I didn't know they mentioned (and played) Death Cab on the OC, but I did hear them play The Sound of Settling during the credits of Entertainment Tonight. O_O
Really it's either you've heard one or the other, I haven't met many people who know both bands.
Currently I'd have to say I like Death Cab better, simply because I love their song Photobooth. Not only that, but the radio station I always listen to keeps overplaying Such Great Heights.
Also, their sounds are noticeably different, like Postal Service has a sort of techno sound because they use a synthesizer.
Just my two cents. Err or maybe 5.
Mucho love

Really, you didn't know? I had always thought it was obvious.
A lot of people say The Postal Service's songs are a bit techno-y (even I do) but Death Cab uses beats/synthesizers in some of their songs too, so it's hard to call.
Both bands just have a really distinct different sound -- maybe it's because TPS is a bit more upbeat while Death Cab is more mellow and
serious? Ack, I'm getting lost in my own gibberish.
Mucho love,

The Postal Service is a little more..new age...and different.
death cab is more emotional, and the lyrics are amazing.

just my opinon. they both have a lot to them.
