Beyond The Horizon took me by surprise since People In Planes are a Welsh indie band. I was expecting typical catchy indie pop stuff with something else thrown in so they'd be considered unique. I was wrong. This is heavy. Even the slower songs on the album, like the single "Pretty Buildings," progress into something metallic. While the...

People In Planes @ NXNE 2008

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 13, 2008 1:00 pm
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: People In Plans are an over-sized, two-singer Welsh band that play straight-up American radio rock. Grade: 65 Comment: People In Planes couldn't have been a bigger letdown following Monotonix. Over the past few years, Wind-Up have sunk so much money into promoting these guys, and yet they're still playing...

People In Planes — As Far As The Eye Can See...

Cardiff's People In Planes sound like so many U.K. bands with big guitars, wailing powerhouse vocals and driving songs, who manage to sell records at home but do nothing in North America. Unfortunately, this sound is pretty played out and People In Planes offer nothing new to the genre. Matters are made worse by their truly awful lyrics. Lead...

But with the release of their sophomore album and a spring tour, they're prepared to hit new heights. The band are set to unleash Beyond The Horizon...

New Releases: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Make Bony Return

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 27, 2006 6:00 pm
This Tuesday isn't the busiest release day of the year, but it does feature one of the highest profile new records of 2006. Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Show Your Bones comes almost two years after the band's hit, Fever To Tell. It's got a little less of the edge that made Fever such a thriller, but what it lacks in balls-out insanity, it makes up for in...

People In Planes Are Taxiing While Touring

If you listen to People In Planes' new album, As Far As The Eye Can See, it's hard to imagine its expansive, melody-driven Brit-pop-rock sounds being created in a metal storage bin. "We started practising literally in a metal cargo shipping container, a steel box," says lead singer Gareth Jones. "And then eventually we got into a...

By Allegra Shepherd (CHARTattack) January 10, 2006 6:30 pm
Up-and-coming bands thrive on publicity, so what could be a better way to become known than to have an accomplished actor direct you debut music video? Joaquin Phoenix (best known for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in the critically acclaimed biopic Walk The Line) recently shot the first video for Welsh rock band People In Planes. The clip for...
