Plan R is a 4 piece band hailing from the DC area. They have been playing since October of 2004 and are planning on releasing their debute full length in mid to late spring of 2005. They have no set sound or genre in mind and can be found playing fast paced, moderate, acoustic...whatever. Giving something a label or having to fit into a cetain mold ruins music and too many bands have come to fall into this category. Plan R is an independent band. Mainstream sh*** and Clear Channel is a joke. F*** the "Music Industry", think for yourself.
Why this name?
Well we were up in The Bronx and about to go on stage for our first show when we couldn't decided of a name. Noah suggested "Plan R" because of something to do with the movie Dr.Stranglove. We all though it sounded cool and went from there.
Do you play live?
You bet, anywhere we can get a show-we'll play anywhere anytime, just drop us a line.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3's are for the best, I can't even imagine the bands that I would have never discovered if it wasn't for Mp3's. We all personally think that free music is a right, but that's just our opinion...hell, once we release the full length you better believe that it'll all be up for free download.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
NO WAY! Are you kidding? Major labels suck and ruin everything about the scene! We'd rather not be told what to say, play, wear, and act as a pawn for some executive trying to fabricate sh*** rock across America, which is infortunatly all of the bands found on the radio today.
Your influences?
man, there are so many bands that have influenced us over the years...personally I'd have to say Ezra Kire (Morning Glory, INDK, Choking Victim, Leftover Crack) is my biggest influence, it's probabley the same with Dan with OpIvy thrown in there. You'd have to ask Rush and Noah about their views.
Favorite spot?
Washington, D.C.
Equipment used:
whatever we can find, usually borrowed haha.
