Hello and welcome to Planet Magnetic.
Here are just a few things that people have said about us-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATCHBOX RECORDINGS "The incrediblly talented electronic based genius of Planet Magnetic"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIGITAL MUSIC PLANET "The London-based quartet, Planet Magnetic, has been compared to legendary bands such as the Doors and more contemporary alt-rock artists such as Interpol and the Kings of Leon. Despite this, they still manage to offer a unique sound that drifts through the atmosphere and collects like ice to anyone who hears it, sending chills that run through the body but warm the soul. The dark, hypnotic sounds swell and beat with such intense focus that it is easy get lost in the aura created by their music. Planet Magnetic is a band that just shouldn’t be missed, earning them a much deserved spot as Digital Music Planet’s Artist in the Spotlight." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'TURN UP THE SOUND'-U.S MAGAZINE - "Turn Up The Sound has found a new gem, a band that crosses Joy Division and The Doors to make their ever so heart-pumping sounds that just embrace every core of your being. Music like this is hard to find these days. Planet Magnetic is the new band in our hearts, and I have a feeling they will be there for a while. Already making strides in the UK , We can only hope that their new found success can bring them to America, so we won't be deprived any longer of their sweet, sweet music. With band members coming from Switzerland, Scotland and London, the diversity comes through, and honestly makes this band even more interesting and intriguing". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPOONFED ONLINE - "Peddling a Killers style blend of epic indie rock and shoegaze noise" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Formed in 2008, the North London quartet are guitarist/songwriter Paull Withey . Synth/Theremin/piano player Duri Darms (former member of The Hoosiers), Bassist Adam Jarvis & drummer Euan Patterson. Taking the dark dramatic sound of contemporary bands like Interpol , The Editors & Kings Of Leon and crossing this with the atmosphere and experimental elements of ancestors The Doors, Joy Division, & The Psychedelic Furs. Planet Magnetic also have a striking visual presence marked by the members’ relationship with up & coming east London designer “Jenny Schwarz” (website) who created their onstage image. which only strengthens their originality and appeal. A series of well-received club dates at places such as the Proud Galleries,100 club, Club Nme nights in and out of London and support slots with Boy Kill Boy, The Automatic, & Hard Fi have earned them an increasing fan-base as well as interest from producer Dave Allan ( The Cure, Depeche mode, Pete & The Pirates) who was so impressed by their live performances he produced 5 tracks, and called on Mark Ralf from The Filthy Dukes to mix the tracks.
Fancy some of this... Great bands + guest DJ + indoor fireworks display + bonfire toffee + toffee apples + Free entry + much more = good times! See you at the bar Broccoli x
Solid performance from you last night at the Mother Bar. New song (Safe & Sound?) sounded good, and I really like Lonely Planet. Great to chat to you all at the gig too.
Just to let you guys know that we really enjoyed your set last night. Sounded fantastic and really tight. Keep up the good work and hopefully see you around soon.
