PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS are Going on a Summer Tour & Reissuing “Mercy”

Remember last month when Mastodon’s Brann Dailor did a video testimonial for Planes Mistaken For Stars? We fell under the impression that the band were going to make some sort of return this year. A tour perhaps? Maybe new tunes?

Good news. It looks like PMFS will indeed be hitting the road this summer and they’ll also be putting out a reissue of their 2006 influential record MercyDeathwish will be releasing the reissue on July 14th, which will include a remastered version of the record and revamped packaging.
