Founded in Brooklyn in 2010 by singer/guitarist Stephen Otto Perry, The Planes are an indie rock band with a well-earned reputation for deft songwriting, loud performances, and letting your drummer borrow our hi-hat clutch as long as they promise to give it back after your set. The current lineup of Perry, drummer Don Lavis, and bassist Jackie Perrone will be releasing the band's 6th full-length album, Dark Matter Recycling Co., on September 15th, 2023 through Totally Real Records in the US and Safe Suburban Home Records in the UK. From uptempo jangle rock to '90s-style fuzzed out riffs, Dark Matter Recycling Co. is a rock album for an uncertain post-pandemic world that also manages to look inward, with moments of honest self-reflection.
