Planet On A Chain To Release “Deprogram” For The First Time On Vinyl Via Revelation Records

Revelation Records have announced that Deprogram, the 2022 album from hardcore-punk band Planet On A Chain, will be available on vinyl for the first time. Set for release on October 27th and up for preorder now at RevHQ, the record gets pressed on three different color ways (pressing info and tracklist below). Deprogram is a collection comprised of re-recordings of the group’s  demos reorded in their practice space, which were released on respected independent labels Blind Rage Records and 625 Records/To Live A Lie Records. For Deprogram, the band teamed up with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA to give the songs an official studio recording.

Speaking on the formation of Planet On A Chain and recording, and re-recording those demos, guitarist Brian Stern states:

“I can remember Tear it Up playing at the Ranch house in Portland back in the early 2000’s, they played outside in the side yard. Talk is Poison was rehearsing for some shows in the basement and we met Dave and crew(they were playing that day with What Happens Next, Life’s Halt – the best folks on the planet).

We played with each other bands afterward on the east coast, ABC NO RIO on New York City’s Lower East Side for sure, Look Back and Laugh with Splitting Headache, California Love. That sort of thing. We have mutual friends and a lot of the same exceptional and dumb interests, may have even mentioned potentially doing a project back around 2006? The pandemic and smart phones made that very possible, lol. Dave and I started making songs (lyrics / music respectively) and sending them back forth via text / Scratch Track during quarantine / shelter in place period, we made those songs into demos with Garageband. The quality was terrible, in a cool low fidelity way, we didn’t spend a lot of time on them, strictly first take policy. I love home recordings and home demos were it sounds rough, with chunks and all, and the vocals sounding as if they are coming from across a long hall, bass is behind a cinderblock wall down the street. Chris Corry made those all listenable, but the source recordings were all done pretty badly by me(Brian). To be honest, the listener was never in mind, only an afterthought, they were demos. In June 2022 we tuned up and re-imagined a bunch of the demo songs and gave them a proper studio recording with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA.”

In February of this year, Planet On A Chain released their debut album, Boxed In, also available through Revelation Records. The band is spread through California and Texas, with members’ past projects including Look Back and Laugh, Tear It Up, Talk Is Poison, Dead Nation, and more. Planet On A Chain is creating a scorching hardcore blast delivered the way the founders of the genre intended – fast, raw, angry, and decidedly punk.
