Abacus signs Planes Mistaken For Stars

Denver's Planes Mistaken For Stars have officially signed with Abacus Recordings. Formed in 1997, the group has previously released material with No Idea Records and Deep Elm Records. The group's next album will be available on June 6, 2006. Here's a statement from PMFS frontman Gared O'Donnell regarding the deal: "Abacus are good eggs and if anyone has a problem with any of this start your own band or eat shit; either way try and have fun with it. Our future's so bright we gotta wear shades. See you in June."

redandblackink 9/26/2005 6:13:30 PM

who cares who they signed to, who cares what gimmicks they have surrounding release dates, who cares what stories they make up about tours; this band rules.

what_is_wrong_with_you 9/26/2005 7:00:24 PM

about time. this band deserves it. will be spinning 'fck With Fire' tonight in their honor.

noaone 9/26/2005 7:08:04 PM

one of my favorite bands ever. can't wait

xcowabungax 9/26/2005 7:15:15 PM

6/6/6... if it wasn't such a shitty band maybe i'd be stoked

xsamx 9/26/2005 7:37:26 PM

"Our future's so bright we gotta wear shades" <- lame

yourewakingup 9/26/2005 7:43:55 PM

everyone let go of these guys' nuts... they're not that great. i'm reaaally hoping abacus doesn't start pulling the same shit victory did.

holycitybradley 9/26/2005 7:44:13 PM

these dudes were repping Relapse to the max in a good many articles... weird change

hotaction 9/26/2005 7:52:18 PM

planes are nowhere close to ANYTHING on victory. if abacus started only releasing stuff like planes id be fine with that.

girls_who_run 9/26/2005 8:23:45 PM

i think he means abacus changing its direction. who cares, planes are good.

incircles 9/26/2005 8:37:19 PM

this band is great, if you think otherwise then suck my ass.

whitelambpowergoat 9/26/2005 9:20:04 PM

its about time they signed a band that didnt blow each others c-cks

Dave2112 9/26/2005 9:45:49 PM

Abacus have ION Dissonance on their label... they cannot do wrong in my eyes.

lxresist 9/26/2005 10:09:02 PM

but planes wasnt on tooth and nail..

picturesofme 9/26/2005 10:21:34 PM

SWEET news. I love this band.

weird_beard 9/26/2005 10:36:56 PM

FINNALY!!! Abacus have one non shitty band on their roster. I give these guys my full support.

xannebowmanx 9/26/2005 11:59:47 PM

Abacus has Swarm of the Lotus. They = goodness. As for Planes making up stories about tour... After seeing the way they act in their home town, I'm sure tour is quite reflective of that. Out of control.

danofthedead 9/27/2005 12:17:11 AM

This band is GODDAMN AWESOME.

emoxfag 9/27/2005 1:03:18 AM

sharkxpunch 9/27/2005 2:01:24 AM

Bleeding Kansas pwnz most of Abacus. With the exception of SOL and Ion.

beardofbees 9/27/2005 3:03:38 PM

Planes manager told them to decline the $70,000 Relapse offered them. fckin Stupid. but their an amazing band so whatever as long as they keep puttin out dirty rock albums

Dave2112 9/27/2005 4:05:42 PM

I'm sure they had good reason for declining that $70,000..

xAndThenYouDiex 9/27/2005 4:08:12 PM

well, I guess every label has to sign at least one shitty trendy band these days... Aids Mistaken For Sars blow ass

emoxfag 9/27/2005 4:28:40 PM

when did planes become trendy?

theGODDAMNawesome 9/27/2005 4:35:36 PM

Hahah i love this band.

cultureofwaste 9/27/2005 4:39:17 PM

good for them, Abacus seems to be a really good label to be on right now... they're out to have fun, if you take them too seriously go fck yourself with a sharded bamboo cane.

_dead_12 9/27/2005 5:14:00 PM

why do people still listen to this band. wtf

xderekskix 9/27/2005 11:44:43 PM

can slayer not throw together another album for that date, so a good release can be put out???

uhsurebro 9/28/2005 11:55:13 AM

Hi beardofbees, I manage Planes. Nice to meet you. $70k? I know you already know you're full of shit, but I thought it needed to be pointed out anyway. Glad you like the band though.
