Mercy

Planes Mistaken for Stars formed in Peoria Illinois in 1997 and relocated to Denver Colorado in 1999. From the outset they were an artistic anomaly: carrying both a worn rust belt heart a warm Midwestern soul. Collectively the band combined different kinds of musical rebellion: hardcore aggression punk energy and gritty rock n roll spirit into their own special noise. Ultimately laying the blueprint for today s emotional punk rock resurgence. Deathwish is now proud to announce the reissue of Mercy from Planes Mistaken for Stars their much-beloved and highly influential 2006 album. Along with newly revamped packaging this definitive version has also been remastered from the original ½ tapes by Brad Boatwright at Audiosiege (Sunn O))) Modern Life is War) sonically making it more powerful and textural than ever before. Produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon Cursive) Mercy is a beautifully dark and melodious masterwork that is affecting in ways rarely experienced. Each of it s eleven songs is a haunting yet hopeful personal tale vulnerable but vicious in tone. Genre bending and ground breaking in their ability to intimately connect with listeners from all walks of life.
