Having spent months writing, Steve Forrest, drummer of Placebo, set about pulling together various friends from London to form a new band, and Planes was born. The band released their debut EP last summer to critical acclaim, and are back with a new record and a tour in Spring 2013.

Most young songwriters debut their new material in front of a handful of friends; Planes' songs enjoyed a slightly larger nascence being performed in front of 60 000 screaming fans, with frontman Steve Forrest opening for Placebo; one of the world's biggest alternative acts. 

The band's return to the live circuit has been the subject of a feverish response from their dedicated and international fan-base - leading to the band trending on twitter in 6 countries before the date was even announced! Planes are now recording their debut album with some high profile producers, including Tristan Ivemy (Frank Turner, The Heartbreaks) and perform across the UK in March 2013

07 - Southampton - Joiners
08 - Birmingham - Hare and Hounds
09 - Manchester - Deaf Institute
10 - Newcastle - The Cluny

What should you expect from the Planes' live show? 
As the NME recently said of the band, they move effortlessly from anthemic and euphoric rock sensibilities, to soft bluesy ballads.

Of the news of Planes' live return, Steve Forrest commented 
"It's really great to be taking the stage with Planes again after almost a years break. It's going to be a fantastic, and I'm twitching with anticipation."

In 1998, songwriting & production duo Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw formed what would become Metric and left Toronto for NYC in search of like-minded artists. In 2001/2002, they were joined by drummer Joules Scott Key & bassist Joshua Winstead, and found themselves at the center of the city’s burgeoning alt-rock scene alongside bands like LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and more. Unlike their peers, Metric resisted major label offers, releasing albums that pushed boundaries on their own terms.

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by Emily Haines & Jimmy Shaw is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Their latest LP, Formentera II, out October 13 via their label MMI & Thirty Tigers, is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying work and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera
