TPD #190 - Chuck French & Mike Ricketts (Planes Mistaken For Stars)

🔥 Here's our latest TPD podcast episode with Chuck French & Mike Ricketts of Planes Mistaken For Stars! #alternative #posthardcore #punk 🔥 For the remaining members of post-hardcore powerhouse Planes Mistaken For Stars, their long-awaited fifth studio album will forever be an open wound. Completed in the wake of not one but two founding members passing away—guitarist/vocalist Matt Bellinger (2017) and frontman/guitarist Gared O’Donnell (2021)— ‘Do You Still Love Me?’ (out November 1st through Deathwish Inc.) is a howling cry of catharsis pitched into the great beyond. And yet, despite the palpable sense of grief and loss that hangs tenuously over the record’s diverse tracklist, glimmers of hope and communion peak through the darkness with the promise of a brighter tomorrow. We’re joined by Chuck French (guitar) and Mike Ricketts (drums) to talk about the enormous task of shaping these songs into not just a tribute to their dear friends, but also a record worthy of the band’s formidable legacy. “We ride to fight. Thunder in the night forever.” ➤ Follow and support the show: https://linktr.ee/tpdpod ➤ Follow Planes and pre-order/stream ‘Do You Still Love Me?’ here: https://planesmistakenforstars.net/ ➤ Shout out to Chuck & Mike, NeverFeltPrettier8198, BayAreaPunkShows, Deathwish Inc., for Stephanie Marlow (Another Side) hooking things up. ➤ RIP Gared O’Donnell & Matt Bellinger Featured media: "Planes Mistaken For Stars - Fix Me"    • Planes Mistaken For Stars "Fix Me"   "PMFS Live at St Vitus Bar, NY July 19th 2015"    • Planes Mistaken for Stars Live at St Vitus...   @neverfeltprettier8198, 13TH Jan 2016 "Planes Mistaken For Stars - Arrow"    • Planes Mistaken For Stars "Arrow"   "PMFS at The Elbo Room, SF,CA 7/14/14 [FULL SET]"    • Planes Mistaken for Stars at The Elbo Room...   @BayAreaPunkShows, 16th Jul 2014 "Planes Mistaken For Stars - Fucking Tenderness"    • Planes Mistaken For Stars "Fucking Tendern...   "Planes Mistaken For Stars - Killed By Killers Who Killed Each Other"    • Planes Mistaken For Stars "Killed By Kille...   "Planes Mistaken For Stars - Spring Divorce"    • Planes Mistaken for Stars - "Spring Divorce"   Theme/title music: “L​.​S​.​I​.​A." by Angstbreaker (CC BY-SA 3.0). #thepitchofdiscontent #podcast #episode #alternative #indie #metal #metalcore #punk #rock #newmusic #discovery #ChuckFrench #MikeRicketts #PlanesMistakenForStars #PMFS #DoYouStillLoveMe #fixme #arrows #deathwish
