People Planet's debut single, "Rehab" deals with the heartache, anger and confusion of crushing on an addict.  This upbeat rocker quickly shifts gears on a joy ride of rapid fire lyrics and pitch perfect melody. People Planet are a young co-ed rock unit, who dares to have fun despite the intense topic matter of their songs. "Rehab" teases fans with just a taste in anticipation of the group's upcoming EP, available at the end of the 2018.

Rehab

Like a retro soul Sunday afternoon in 2000's - Norah Jones or John Mayer is on in the background. A bedroom & breakup jam with lyrics general enough to be universally relatable, sung gently like no one is listening, pointed so the melody will linger. We don’t know quite what to expect from this teen band, from their recent jam "Rehab", to this neo-jazzy little number. People Planet aim to be the soundtrack for eclectic young souls who's music taste was forged by growing-up with their parent's radio.

Come A Little Closer

From People Planet’s "Power Play" EP, this song deals with the mental & social noise at end of a relationship.  From the first note we feel the aching for a "Moment of Silence".  Presented over a Bonham-like shuffle, the cohesion of this young band carries the vibe, slowly adding haunting harmonies and a final chorus of Queen-like riffs - a perfect ending to this introspective waltz.  With the self awareness of an old soul, the vocal performance pairs well with the the song's raw & retro sound.

Moment Of Silence

"No one's ever loved me like this" - People Planet, Valentines Day 2019

Valentine’s Day captures those first serious feelings in a young romance;  The retro country vibe, steel guitar & steady groove - kick your boots up and enjoy the ride.

Somewhere between Sheryl Crow and Kitty Wells: "Valentine's  Day" A simple girl, stunned in love, wearing her friend's fancy dress.  Back porch vibe with lyrics crooned in torch and twang style. Written & performed by teen-band People Planet.  Recorded in retro vintage style; played live in a studio, one take.

Valentine's Day

We’re head over heels for that blues boy and we’re takin’ it hard…

A true story of sorts, girl meets blues boy, girl falls hard, girl writes song of unrequited teen love, and leaves it all on the table.

This song features the lyrics & vocals of Daisy Helmuth & guitar work of Charlie Overman. The full band brings the pep and saturation needed to create a sophisticated song you can’t help but jam along to.

Blues Boy

People Planet's Daisy Helmuth excels at writing about spaces in between.   "Preemptive Heartache" explores eminent changes, forced feelings and relations of all kinds.   Going off to college, leaving your band, your friends, lovers and family ... it gets to you.   You start to question everything.  But fear not.  People Planet will continue to release music, perform and record on breaks, summers and the spaces in between.

Preemptive Heartache

In, "Lux", People Planet address the complexities of sexual exploitation in a “Lana Del Rey meets Cat Power” anthem of naive manipulation.
Writer/Singer, Daisy Helmuth, says, "It shouldn’t be necessary to be sexy and provocative in order to be successful, and who’s really winning if you become successful by playing into those expectations?"
A lyrical refrain unafraid to presuppose the mindset of a teen in pursuit of stardom, "I'm only 17 but I can be any age that you want, no you won't get caught"
