Sky Eats Airplane

Sky Eats Airplane is an American metalcore/electronica band, formed in Fort Worth, Texas in 2005. The band is signed to indie label Equal Vision Records and most recently released their self-titled full-length album through the label in July of 2008.
Sky Eats Airplane was formed originally by Brack Cantrell and Lee Duck of band Our First Fall. The two left when the band broke up and began writing heavier music while experimenting with synthetic beats in the background.

After working on some demos, the band quickly became well known locally. They began working on their debut album Everything Perfect on the Wrong Day in early 2006 using little more than a Mac, Reason 3, Adobe Audition and a guitar. Over a three month span they self produced the nine-track album. Sky Eats Airplane held their CD release party for their debut album at The Door in Brack Cantrell left the band in order to pursue softer music, and now plays guitar and sings in his solo project Balance Problems.

Lee decided to ask Zack Ordway, Kenny Schick, and John Erickson of local metalcore outfit (in Theory) to join Sky Eats Airplane and audition singers for the band. After having a lengthy tryout held from their MySpace in which they had an instrumental download, they landed on Jerry Roush from Hampton, VA. Roush had previously played drums in hardcore bands as this was his first attempt as a frontman. He was sent instrumental versions of tracks "Giants In The Ocean" and "Long Walks On Short Bridges" to record his vocals over, for his audition. Roush has a history in modeling prior to joining the band. Since the new formation of Sky Eats Airplane, they were signed to a distribution agreement with Thriving Records where they re-released Everything Perfect on The Wrong Day on November 20, 2007 and since signed with Equal Vision Records.

During early 2008 the band entered Salad Days Studios in Baltimore with producer Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, The Bled, Senses Fail), to record their self-titled follow up album. The album was released on July 22, 2008 through Equal Vision Records.
