Peoria IL, United States (1997 – present)

Planes Mistaken For Stars (also known as Planes or PMFS) was a punk rock/hardcore punk band formed in Peoria, Illinois in 1997. They have released music on Deep Elm and No Idea Records.

They began as an aggressive yet melodic emo band, all but abandoning the genre before its popularity reached the mainstream. These days Planes has more in common with stoner rock than emo, growing more aggressive and experimental with every record.

Lead singer and guitarist Gared O’Donnell started the Peoria, Illinois band with guitarist Matt Bellinger, bassist Aaron Wise, and drummer Mike Ricketts. Shortly after the band self-released a self-titled EP, Wise was replaced by Jamie Drier. At this time Deep Elm offered to repackage and distribute the EP which was re-released in the spring of ‘99.

In 2000, PMFS took part in a mass migration to Denver, Colorado with more than fifteen friends. After the move, the band recorded their second release for Deep Elm, Knife In The Marathon. In 2001, Planes moved over to Gainesville Florida’s No Idea Records to release Fuck With Fire. The next year they released a 7” titled Spearheading The Sin Movement and also made an appearance on Black On Black: A Tribute To Black Flag.

In 2003, Planes saw their second line up change. Jamie Drier left the band and was replaced by Chuck French. Chuck played his first show with Planes on November 2nd, 2003.

    One of the most challenging bands I've had the pleasure of encountering. I come back to them a couple of times a year full of enthusiasm, then stop listening for no apparent reason... This year I'm going to put in the hours. J
