Plane

Label: None
Genre: Rock

"Blood on the Waves" starts with a guitar melody that anyone with the slightest knowledge of the Manchester sound will know. But just in case, Plane doesn't make a mystery of their influences: listed right at the top of their "Sounds Like" section on MySpace is Joy Division. It would be slightly more accurate if they could convey that it sounds like that uncharted territory between the premature fall of Joy Division and the far-from-inevitable rise of New Order. And that should tell you a lot about the depth, intelligence and even newness that you can expect from Plane. That first tingling guitar progression is as familiar as they come, but what comes after proves that Plane is no nostalgia act. Chicago's still a blue-collar town, like Manchester, and Plane is workingman's new wave—you can take your nihilism to the dance-floor without feeling even a pinch self-conscious.
