Neo post-punk quartet Planet Magnetic formed in 2008. Originally dubbed "The Hordes". The North London quartet comprises guitarist/songwriter Paull Withey (who was responsible for the Diff'rent strokes/stripes mystery E.P's), 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 " 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,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. Song based and defiantly modern, songs like 'Run' and 'Crash' are tales of alienation that tap into the general feelings of paranoia and fear that are part of our times-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planet Magnetic - Mesmerising outfit in demand for their big songs and live presence. Currently recording with Dave Allen (The Cure, White Lies etc) producing and Mark from The Filthy Dukes mixing. Hear those songs live, first, here. -DROWNED IN SOUND myspace.com/planetmagnetic
