People in Planes is an alternative rock group from Porthcawl, Wales which formed in 2000. Previously the group was known as Robots in the Sky, and later Tetra Splendour before settling on People in Planes. The band consists of Gareth Jones (vocals, guitar), Pete Roberts (guitar), Kris Blight (bass), Ian Russell (keyboards) and John Maloney (drums). They are best known for such songs as “Barracuda”, “If You Talk Too Much (My Head Will Explode)” and “Last Man Standing”
When the Welsh rock quintet People in Planes came upon their band name, they knew that it expressed their sound — modern yet human, with a global reach and sense of transit and adventure — and the philosophy behind the music they create. But little did they know that it would also prove to be prophetic.
Instead of rising through the often-fickle English pop music scene, People in Planes forged their own version of a British musical invasion when they caught the ear of New York-based Wind-up Records during a transatlantic musical voyage that launched their career. First, with an introductory EP and the alternative/college rock chart single “If You Talk Too Much (My Head Will Explode)” — hailed by Billboard as “a first burst of brilliance” — the band quickly caught American ears (as well as eyes with a video directed by Joaquin Phoenix). They followed with their debut album, As Far As The Eye Can See…, which Decoy praised as “a near-flawless, jaw-dropping piece of modern rock,” and toured the U.S. with such diverse acts as The Bravery, Blue October, VHS or Beta and The (International) Noise Conspiracy.

I heard these guys by chance and am totally blown away. Literally. This the best thing to come out of Wales since the Fake Sound of Progress. I'd list the tracks I think are awesome here, but you may as well just check out the track listings for each album...
