Sky Eats Airplane (often abbreviated to SEA) is a Metalcore/Electronica band based in Fort Worth, Texas, formed in 2005. The band has stated that there is no real meaning or reason to their name, other than it being unique.^[1]

History

Formation

Sky Eats Airplane was formed originally by Brack Cantrell and Lee Duck of band Our First Fall. The two left when the band broke up and began writing heavier music while experimenting with synthetic beats in the background.

2005-present

After working on some demos, the band quickly became well known locally. They began working on their debut album Everything Perfect on the Wrong Day in early 2006. Over a three month span they self produced the nine-track album. Sky Eats Airplane held their CD release party for their debut album at The Door in Fort Worth, Texas.^[2] Brack Cantrell left the band in order to pursue softer music, and now plays guitar and sings in his solo project Balance Problems.

Lee decided to ask Zack Ordway, Kenny Schick, and John Erickson of local metalcore outfit (in Theory) to join Sky Eats Airplane and audition singers for the band. After having a lengthy tryout held from their MySpace in which they had an instrumental download, they landed on Jerry Roush from Hampton, VA. Roush had previously played drums in hardcore bands as this was his first attempt as a frontman. He was sent instrumental versions of tracks "Giants In The Ocean" and "Long Walks On Short Bridges" to record his vocals over, for his audition.^[3] Roush has a history in modeling prior to joining the band. Since the new formation of Sky Eats Airplane, they were signed to a distribution agreement with Thriving Records / Tragic Hero Records where they re-released Everything Perfect on The Wrong Day on November 20, 2007 and since signed with Equal Vision Records.

In early 2008 the band entered Salad Days Studios in Baltimore with producer Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, The Bled, Senses Fail), to record their self-titled follow up album. The album was released on July 22, 2008 through Equal Vision Records.^[4]

They were set to also shoot a music video in New Jersey, but decided, after wasting the time of fans that were devoted to them and their music from the beginning, that the video wasnt worth it and scrapped the video. On top of that, they never felt a need to apologize for wasting everyone's time, and are now hated by the entire state of New Jersey.
