The Aeroplanes are an English

rock band from Liverpool. The Aeroplanes formed in 2003 when Chris Kearney (guitar/vocal), Paul Crowe (guitar/vocal) and Stuart Palethorpe (bass) decided to bring their previous outfit ‘Loveland 1881’ to a close to take their sound in a different direction. They were joined by old school friend Ian McMillan (drums) and the line up was complete. In 2007, bassist Stuart left the band and was replaced by Vicky Edwards. The band released their much anticipated debut album ‘Broken Hearts and Maladies’ in November 2008[1] to positive reviews.[2][3][4][5]

History

Most of 2003 was spent raising their profile around the

The Moguls,[7] after Jeff Bridges heard their distinctive sound and personally requested for them to be included on the movie’s soundtrack.[1][8] Their profile continued to rise as their music was featured on TV programs such as EastEnders, Strictly Come Dancing, as well as US dramas Veronica Mars,[9][10] One Tree Hill[11][12] and Cold Case.[13]

In 2006 The Aeroplanes played gigs in

UK tour where they sold out across the country. In 2007 bassist Stuart Palethorpe left the band and was replaced by Vicky Edwards. Once settled work on the new album Broken Hearts and Maladies began, working with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys).[15] Whilst recording The Aeroplanes did not stop they continued their hectic touring schedule performing in major European cities such as Berlin, Oslo,[16] Rome, Naples. Opening for The Prodigy at the Gampel open air festival in Switzerland they played live to a TV and radio audience of over two million people. Back home they have played with the Happy Mondays, The Zutons and The Farm at the Leeds festival,[17] Knowsley festival[18] Liverpool Arena and headlining at the Mathew Street festival.[19]

The band disbanded in 2010, front man Chris Kearney can be found in new band Cold Shoulder.[20]
