Planes’ second EP, “Hotfoot” is six perfectly written indie rock tracks.
“Summer Breeze” feels expansive and open and it’s a strong start for the five piece. Guitarist and lead vocalist, Steve Forrest recently left Placebo to concentrate full-time on the band and it goes in the songwriting.
“Ole” is probably the band’s strongest statement as the chorus breaks into some real toe-tapping moments. However, “Tex” is where the band uncover a more introspective side—much like Maximo Park’s more recent efforts.
It remains to be seen where Planes will go from here, but there are real glimpses of solid promise on this EP.
