Biography

Plankeye was an alternative rock band and one of Tooth & Nail Records’ greatest successes during the 90’s and early 2000’s. Plankeye’s style could be defined as melodic post-grunge combined with indie and alternative elements. Their first few albums also incorporated a fair amount of punk rock elements, but this aspect faded when original singer Scott Siletta left the band

In 1994, Plankeye released Spill, their first album, which was able to garner enough sales to catch the interest of Tooth and Nail Records. Spill was re-released on Tooth and Nail, as Plankeye went into the studio again to record a slightly less aggressive album, The Spark. In 1996, Plankeye released Commonwealth, which introduced a more polished and mature sound. Over the course of the next year, the group toured constantly, opening for the Newsboys. In November 1997, the group released their best selling album, The One & Only. To promote this album, Plankeye headlined “The One & Only Tour”, featuring opening act, the Insyderz. One year later, lead singer Scott Siletta and drummer Adam Ferry left Plankeye to form the short-lived pop-punk band Fanmail. Siletta later formed a record label called “Vanishing Point Records” with a lineup including his new band “The Franchise”.

    Yep, Hokus Pick. Good song too. I have to say I think Relocation and Strange Exchange are the best albums, though WIngs to Fly is a decent compilation (misses my favorites from Relocation though).

    why are they listed as PlankEye and not just Plankeye?

    Joining the conversation a bit late, but that was by Hokus Pick. Mackil was correct.

    Ok. Don't think I'm insane for posting this, but does Plankeye have that one song with the lyrics: I'm so happy, feeling snapy, my life is rosey, i'm feeling comfy cozy???? For the life of me I can't remember the song or the band. If you know who it is or can conform it is Plankeye Please let me know!!! I would be very thankful.
