BvP are a 5 piece post-punk outfit from Carlisle. Our sound incorporates elements of indie, prog, post-rock, reggae and pop, and this combination, coupled with Jenny's catchy melodies has produced a set of hook heavy alternative pop tunes coming to a venue near you soon!
We've spent the last couple of years playing shows and festivals all over the UK supporting the likes of We Are Scientists, Holloways, Little Comets, Mystrey Jets, Ida Maria, Late of The Pier, Supergrass, The Undertones, Dead Disco, The Sounds among others, and self-released various EP's along the way.
Our latest recordings are available from all shows and there's some tasty new merch on the way later this year! For bookings, press and banter email birdsvsplanes@hotmail.com
"The Cumbrians' mature & versatile sound belies their years & its surely only a matter of time before the arenas beckon, so catch them now or forever curse your hesitancy." Richie Farrage (The Fly)
"Standing in front of Birds-vs-Planes it quickly hits home that they, and very probably unknowingly so, are the best band in the region. Give it a while and they’ll no longer be tagged as a ‘Carlisle-band’ but instead, one of the rising stars of the north." Chay Woodman (Kerrang! Cumbrian Newspapers. Wickerman Festival)
"Birds Vs Planes have a modern take on northern post-punk with plenty of bite. There's a fantastic contrast going on between the deep swirl of ILikeTrains-ish post-rock-indie guitars and Jenny's upfront vocals. A truly excellent frontwoman she's melodic and assertive and got that cool-without-even-trying Karen O attitude thing and stage presence by the shedload. There are actually more delegates watching the band than hammering the free bar, which has got to be a first for in here. Anything else? Yep - a seriously powerful rhythm section. The complete package, basically." Cath Aubergine (Manchester Music)
''...Jenny has a glorious gut-kicking set of pipes that soar, Linda Perry style. Musically, Birds vs Planes score points in a New York-y grunge meets Brit Pop way, sliding from thumping power ballad to jittery pop cakes.." BBC Introducing
"This is the kind of number I could imagine being played at Glastonbury by a top of the bill act." Ian Denoir
"...one of the most powerful voices since PJ Harveys’s debut album. Soaring one moment, whispering the next; threatening and seductive and playful and spellbinding...who cares about name changes when the music is this good!?" Andrew Black
"...irresistibly catchy." Jo Wiley (MTV, Radio 1)
"They’ve supported The Mystery Jets, We Are Scientists, Late of the Pier and Ida Maria and the buzz surrounding them is indicative of big things, already being compared to No Doubt and Arcade Fire by awe-inspired gig-goers. Swirls of post-rock-indie guitars fuse Jen’s delicate yet dominant voice into a powerful weapon..." The Courier (Newcastle Union)
sounds like we missed out eh :( i got blinding drunk when i got back, hit the town with the cash we were payed and drank it all away. This is the drummer by the way, was wondering, what were the make of sabian hi-hats i used?, they were your drummers and they sounded amazing.
