|---|
Sky Eats Airplane (SEA) is an American metalcore band, formed in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2005. The band is signed to indie label Equal Vision Records and most recently released their self-titled full-length album through the label in July 2008. A new full-length album is expected from the band early this year as stated by their Myspace blog.[1]
History
Formation
Sky Eats Airplane was formed originally by Brack Cantrell and Lee Duck of the 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, and helped fuel the electronicore revolution in music.
2006-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 using a Mac, Reason 3, Adobe Audition and a guitar. 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 Dallas, TX.[2][3] Brack left the band to concentrate on 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 this lead to auditioning singers via myspace. After lengthy tryouts, they landed on Jerry Roush from Hampton, VA. Roush had previously played drums in hardcore bands, and this was his first attempt as being a front man. 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.[4] Since the new formation of Sky Eats Airplane, they were signed to a distribution agreement with Thriving Records where they re-released Everything Perfect on The Wrong Day on November 20, 2007 and since signed with Equal Vision Records.
During 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.[5]
On January 11, 2009, Kenny Schick left the group to focus on matter involving his personal life.[citation needed] He was replaced by Travis Orbin( formerly part of the band Periphery).
The band will be doing their first headlining tour called The New Nu Metal Tour from May 21 to June 21 with In Fear and Faith, Eyes Set to Kill, and The Word Alive.[citation needed]
During July 2009, Sky Eats Airplane released a statement saying that Jerry Roush has parted ways and did not leave on bad terms, and they would promptly begin the search for a new vocalist. In December of 2009, Sky Eats Airplane released a blog saying; After going through over 1000 messages, they have found not one but two new members: Bryan Zimmerman and Elliot Coleman. This blog was also met with negative reaction as they announced that Johno would be leaving the band being replaced by Coleman. They played their first show with new vocalist Brian Zimmerman and new bassist at The Pulse in Berlin, Maryland with Life On Repeat and As An Aquarius. They plan on releasing an EP entitled The Sound of Symmetry in the spring, and have several tour dates lined up.
