Shouting At Planes was an alternative indie band originating from Cavan, Ireland.
History
Formed in 2010, the group quickly gained recognition by winning a nationwide contest that featured over 100 competitors, securing a performance spot at the Glastonbury festival just three months after their inception. Their appearance took place on the Queen's Head Stage to a packed audience on 26 June. The band's first single, Hospice, released in August 2010, generated such high interest that more than 100 attendees were unable to enter the CrawDaddy launch event due to venue capacity restrictions. Without backing from any record label or promotional campaign, Hospice entered the Irish charts at position 23.
In October 2010, they performed as the opening act for Imelda May in front of an audience of 3,500 at the Virginia Pumpkin Festival. Their follow-up single, So Young, was unveiled on 12 November with a launch party held at the Button Factory, supported by The Dirty 9's and hosted by 2fm's Paddy McKenna. Later that year, they emerged victorious in Phantom 105.2's Next Beck's Thing band competition and concluded 2010 by supporting Fight Like Apes on New Year's Eve.
April 2011 saw the release of their debut EP titled Surrender The Academy 2. To promote it, they toured extensively across Ireland and appeared at prominent festivals such as Electric Picnic, Indiependance, Temple House, and Le Cheile.
