Plans & Apologies are an indie pop group from Derby, England.
They released their debut album Torn Out Pages From The Middle Agez on Artists Against Success in January 2003. This was followed by The Tree Dee Pee EP in late 2004.
The band have seven members, resulting in a richly layered guitar pop sound on many of their songs. The NME has described them as combining 'gorgeous lo-fi pop' and 'mental, near-metal riffage'.
In March 2006, they released a single on EXERCISE1 Records, entitled Spiderz In The Bar (Part II).
The band made their out-of-print debut album available for free download from their website along with a free download only EP The Free Dee Pee EP
The band set up their own label called Pandaz Pop in order to releas a new EP entitled Wirez, Man in October 2006.
During 2007-8, founder members Miikhul Salmon and Daniel Beizsley left the group. The band decided not to replace them, instead slimming down to a five-piece line-up with Dan Wheeler becoming the main drummer.
They are currently putting the finishing touches to their new album, The Bassett Hound and the Icy Ground, scheduled for release during 2008.
