PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS “MERCY” CD

PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS “MERCY” CD

Formerly on the emo lighthouse Deep Elm and then landing on the fiercely independent No Idea, Planes Mistaken For Stars have come a long way since those early days. The band has toured the world with the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan, Against Me!, Cursive and others. Planes’ appeal crosses genres, often shows have as many metal heads and hardcore fans as emo fans requesting material from early in the band’s career. Produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus The Bear, etc.), “Mercy” is another step forward in the progression of a band who challenges themselves along the path of life.

IT DIES TODAY “SIRENS” CD 

The group creates a blend of brutal riffs and punishing breakdowns, coupled with huge anthemic and driving melodic sections as well. This dichotomy within their sound has gained them fans across the metal, hardcore and emo scenes as well as the ability to bring both sexes together in the pit.

RJ’s blend of old school hardcore influences such as SSD, Bad Brains, Black Flag and Cro-Mags and positive, self-affirming lyrics instantly turned them into a crowd favorite and a staple of the American hardcore scene. Since then it’s been nonstop for RJ, who’ve toured with the Dropkick Murphys, Madball, H2O, Sworn Enemy.
