We
are BIRDS VS PLANES

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)

As for the gig over in Carlisle i aint got a clue! I hope it will be sorted out because most of my family are from that way and there was a few people going to come down i think! Ah well, what will be, will be!

Birds Vs Planes,

Please note the new RecordScout.com website is live! We have so many new
features all aimed at unsigned, and signed bands looking for valuable exposure.
Previously it was just a directory for unsigned bands but our new launch
includes MP3 and Video exposure as well as photo galleries. Encourage your fans
to sign up and vote for you. When we go live with our national radio coverage
the charts will be announced weekly! Unfortunately previous bands and artists
will have to set up an new account from scratch but it is worth it!


Thanks for the support Birds Vs Planes!
