About Planes Mistaken for Stars


The band began as an aggressive, melodic post-hardcore band in 1997, but has since abandoned the genre somewhat to an extent debated by both the band's fans and critics.

Lead singer and guitarist Gared O'Donnell started the band with guitarist Matt Bellinger, bassist Aaron Wise, and drummer Mike Ricketts. Shortly after the band self-released a self-titled mini-album, Wise was replaced by Jamie Drier. At this time Deep Elm released a self-titled EP which was re-released in August 1999. They also released the 7" "Fucking Fight" on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records later that same year.

In 1999, Planes took part in a mass migration to Denver, Colorado with more than thirteen 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 its second line up change. Jamie Drier left the band and was replaced by Chuck French. Chuck played his first show with Planes on November 2, 2003.
