jhulud Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Planes Mistaken For Stars formed in Peoria, Illinois in 1997, and relocated to Denver Colorado in 1999. From the outset, they were an artistic anomaly; carrying both a worn rust belt heart a warm midwestern soul. Collectively the band combined different kinds of musical rebellion; hardcore aggression, punk energy, and gritty rock n’ roll spirit into their own special noise. Ultimately laying the blueprint for today’s emotional punk rock resurgence. From 1999 to 2006, Planes Mistaken For Stars released music on labels Deep Elm, Dim Mak, No Idea Records and more, before signing to Abacus/Century Media in 2006. After countless tours in those years with the likes of Converge, Against Me!, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Hot Water Music, the band flamed out and announced an amicable split in 2007. During that time members went on to play in Git Some, Bull Of Heaven, Hawks and Doves, and Wovenhand. In 2010, Planes Mistaken For Stars reunited for The Fest in Gainesville, Florida. In 2012, the band also reunited for a successful East Coast Tour. Since then, they have been quietly and persistently working on new music, due to surface on Deathwish sometime in the future. On July 14th, Deathwish will reissue “Mercy” from Planes Mistaken For Stars, their much-beloved and highly influential 2006 album. Along with newly revamped packaging, this definitive version has also been remastered from the original 1/2” tapes by Brad Boatwright at Audiosiege (Sunn O))), Modern Life Is War), sonically making it more powerful and textural than ever before. Produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Cursive) “Mercy” is a beautifully dark and melodious masterwork that is affecting in ways rarely experienced. Each of its eleven songs is a haunting yet hopeful personal tale, vulnerable but vicious in tone. Genre bending and ground breaking in their ability to intimately connect with listeners from all walks of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshredhi Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Up In Them Guts has always been my favorite. Mercy is alright but never grabbed me the way UITG and FWF did. Will check out to see what the remastering adds, if anything. Stoked for new music tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Plus they are playing shows. Super stoked to see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is not my fav Planes album, that would be FWF, but I will probably still buy it because I don't have it on vinyl. Can't wait to hear what they come out with now. I've seen them a few times back in the day and they always put on a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 New material would make me very happy. I've enjoyed the post-PMFS material well enough, but none of it has really connected with me like Planes did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I like this band and will probably pick this up. Forever bummed I didn't go to their show here with Alexisonfire and Hot Water Music because my girlfriend at the time didn't want me to go.

hallowken78 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I never actually listened to this band before. Their name always made me think they were some emo/pop band; I was clearly mistaken. Hype video worked so I placed an order. Always fun to discover a quality artist that slipped past your radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their self titled EP is the only thing that could be called emo-ish, even though it's still pretty gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tre Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I feel like I have not been here for a while, so I will make up for lost time by bumping all DW related threads. I am sure that won't get irritating... Preorder this awesome record now!
