There'd be no distance that could hold us back."

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.
