About Me

Plans & Apologies are a six piece band from Derby in der mitte England. As part of the music media's hopeless pursuit of the perfect pinpoint pigeonhole in one, Plans & Apologies have been described as sounding like The Wedding Present, The Smiths, The Kinks, Pavement, Belle & Sebastian, Blur, Gang of Four, Captain Beefheart and the Super Furries. But then you don't really need to know that cos you can listen to us all over this page. Be sure to check out the FREE downloads over there on the left! Head over to our website for a more detailed, over indulgent biography. Yup yup.

"One of the best indie bands in the world" Huw Stephens, Radio One

"Seriously, what's more manic: the singer trying to work in as many syllables as he can, as if the band's started the van without him, or the overstimulated guitar that sounds like a Slinky running down stairs at full speed? "Two Left Feet" is a tightly wound coil that sounds like it's ready to spring open violently..." Pitchfork Media

"Playing gorgeous lo-fi pop one moment, then bashing out some mental riffage the next, these indie poppers are backed by a Stephen Malkmus-style lyrical charm" NME

"Here is a group which has spiky, sharp, intelligent, unruly, thoughtful, spontaneous, creative energy with obvious signs of nascent lyrical genius." Drowned in Sound
