It is impossible to deny that australian bands have a very particular, creative and above all dangerous sound. Planet of the Stereos is not the exception. Shaped by Chris Collins (vocals, guitar), Mitch Serena (piano), Daniel Hunt (drums), Joel Geering (bass) and Marcüs Beaumont (guitar). In anticipation of a future album, the band released ‘Before The Storm: The Acoustic EP’ produced by Craig Porteils (Cher, Ozzy Osbourne) and recorded by Mike Shipley (Queen, My Chemical Romance, Maroon 5), including love songs and personal experiences.

“Pleased To Meet You” is the official single of the EP, and is a song that expresses the infinite feelings we have at falling in love: “Like sun in ran, my life you came / So pleased to meet you / It’s nice to see some love in someone’s eyes / I so want to be you / I can’t escape the love inside your eyes”. Perfectly accompanied by acoustic guitars and rhodes that gives more delight to the track. “This Moment” continues to provide love phrases, but this time it may take two meanings, for a girl or to God: “It’s so crazy / You are a song I want to sing / I can feel it / Can you feel it too? / In this moment I’m just for you”, with a captivating organ, a wonderful piano and a fast guitar riff. Many times we are with the wrong person, who robs us of our dreams, who off our aspirations. “Must Be Dreaming” is a confession about escape from that which doesn’t allow us to dream.  “Cinderella” is the story of a girl who is tired of being used, and not being respected. Now she decided to value her heart, no matter if people watch her wrong. Very inspiring.

Planet of the Stereos is fascinating, commercial and positive, so we’re looking ahead to a future project full of innovation, guitars and interesting arrangements.

Es imposible negar que las bandas australianas tienen un sonido muy particular, creativo y sobre todo peligroso. Planet Of The Stereos no es la excepción. Conformado por Chris Collins (vocalista, guitarra), Mitch Serena (pianos), Daniel Hunt (batería), Joel Geering (bajo) y Marcüs Beaumont (guitarra). Como adelanto de un futuro álbum, la banda lanzó ‘Before The Storm : The Acoustic EP’ producido por Craig Porteils (Cher, Ozzy Osbourne) y grabado por Mike Shipley (Queen, My Chemical Romance, Maroon 5), incluyendo canciones de amor y experiencias personales.

“Pleased To Meet You” es el sencillo oficial del EP, y es una canción que expresa los infinitos sentimientos que tenemos al enamorarnos: “Like sun in ran, my life you came / So pleased to meet you / It’s nice to see some love in someone’s eyes / I so want to be you /  I can’t escape the love inside your eyes”. Perfectamente acompañado por guitarras acústicas y un rhodes que le entrega un mayor deleite al track. “This Moment” continúa entregándonos frases de amor, pero esta vez puede tomar dos significados; para una chica o para Dios: “It’s so crazy / You are a song I want to sing / I can feel it / Can you feel it too? / In this momento I’m just for you”, con un cautivante órgano, un acelerado piano y un riff de guitarra maravilloso. Muchas veces estamos con la persona equivocada, y nos roba nuestros sueños, apaga nuestras aspiraciones. “Must Be Dreaming” es una confesión sobre escapar de aquello que no nos deja soñar. “Cinderella” es el relato de una muchacha que está harta de ser usada, y de que no la respeten. Ahora ella tomó la decisión de valorar su corazón, sin importar que la gente la vea mal. Muy inspiradora.

Planet Of The Stereos es fascinante, comercial y positivo; así  que estemos atentos a un futuro proyecto colmado de innovación, guitarras y arreglos interesantes.
