In 2011, the band were invited to perform on the BBC Introducing Stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend event. Following tour supports with the likes of Mystery Jets, We Are Scientists, Ida Maria, Polarsets, Late Of The Pier, Hot Club de Paris, Airship and many more, BVP have a strong cross-over appeal spanning all manner of genres.
tilising an eclectic bunch of influences, the sound is best described loosely as post-punk, with shades of everything from spacey post-rock to modern indie and alternative eighties and nineties bands. Signing a record deal with new independent label The Music Bakery in 2011, debut single Sew Up The Sky was released to critical acclaim in early summer and enjoyed airplay across all major networks. As the distinctive buzz surrounding the Cumbrian five-piece continues to grow, the stage is now set for the release of Birds Vs Planes debut EP in Summer 2012.
