Inspired by post-punk, dream pop, and a touch on of electronica, the San Francisco-via-New York quintuplet Film School began as the inspiration of vocalist/guitarist Krayg Burton, world Health Organization began recording under the Film School mention in the late '90s. After cathartic the I'm Not Working 7" on Metoo! Records, Burton coupled forces with a rotating cast of musicians to nominate 2001's full-length A Brilliant Career, including members of Fuck and Elephone as well as Pavement and Preston School of Industry's Scott Kannberg. Also byzantine in the roger Sessions were keyboardist Jason Ruck and guitarist/vocalist Nyles Lannon (besides of the electronic group Technicolor and his side project n.lannon), world Health Organization both became permanent members of the lot. For the enlistment encouraging A Brilliant Career, Film School recruited Lannon's fellow Technicolor bass player Justin LaBo and drummer Ben Montesano. This lineup recorded 2003's Alwaysnever EP for Kannberg's boutique label Amazing Grease; by the time the band hit the route over again in 2004, Montesano was replaced by Donny Newenhouse on drums. After touring the U.K. that fall and appearing at South by Southwest early in 2005, Film School signed to Beggar's Banquet and began recording. The On & On EP arrived that fall and heralded the spillage of their self-titled record album in wintertime 2006. Hideout, their third record album, arrived in 2007.
