Fox Searchlight will release CHOKE in theatres across North America on Friday, September 26, 2008.  ATO Pictures (co-founded by Dave Matthews) and ContraFilm produced the Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. CHOKE is an adaptation of the wickedly colorful, subversive dark comedy from Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston. CHOKE's director and screenwriter, Clark Gregg, also stars in the film. 

In describing the film, Dave said, "Addiction, bitterness, religion, deception, mortality, history and a beautiful love story all wrapped up in sex...no kissing please"

Most notable additions are the previously unreleased or rare tracks that appear on the record, among them "Orgasm Addict" by The Buzzcocks, as sung by the band's original singer Howard Devoto; a great version of The Doors'  "Crystal Ship" by the incomparable Nicole Atkins and The Sea; and the original version by The Natural History of Spoon's current hit single, "Don't You Ever."
