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 huh.gif.

blasphemy!
rockstermonkey
the shins were playing in american eagle? ...wow, righty then. I would have to say that I prefer the postal service. I just like their sound about ten times better.
yupimchuck
death cab.

I can't choose- I like them both so much equally.

The postal service, honestly.
I enjoy Jenny Lewis' background vocals, and the postal service is a bit "faster"... iuno, it's hard to explain.

Amen to that, Tracy! AMEN!

I wanna hear some DCFC and Postal Service have the same singer? Wow I didn't know that.. Someone give me some Death Cab music.
WrathOfOnigo
Oh crap I love them both so much. But I will have to go with TPS because I have heard more of their songs.
gOODpIRATE
death cab for cutie, definetly.
agirlnamed_aly
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

i've never watched an episode of the oc rolleyes.gif the most i've seen was maybe a few seconds because my best friend was watching it

i like death cab for cutie more, the postal service is so overrated
xXYouMeBedNowXx

HECK YES!! biggrin.gif

Anyway, I still like DCFC, but I like how the Postal Service is a a more "techno" sound to it. Again, I cant explain it in only words.

I would say Death Cab, even though I do find some of their songs boring.

SOME, I said. and maybe that's my opinion? People have their opinions and they're entitled to them. So maybe, you should back off.

yeah that's your opinion, but maybe if you actually understood the lyrics they wouldn't be boring to you.
agirlnamed_aly
Oh. Drama.

Anyway

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,

Alyson
myheartxbandages
i think both of these bands are amazing.
The Postal Service is a little more..new age...and different.

death cab is more emotional, and the lyrics are amazing.

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

Or maybe they have and they just like the Postal Service better. Seriously, let people have an opinion without you insulting them.


And it sickens me that The Shins were playing in American Eagle. "Scuse me while I go throw up.
racoons > you
^^
<3 american eagle

and <3 the shins

I am letting people have their own opinions. I was just saying.

No, you were telling them that their opinion sucked and was wrong.
xXYouMeBedNowXx
Lately I've been addicted to Title And Registration by DCFC, but I still think the Postal Service is better. ;)
