Five piece Indie rock band from Cardiff, Wales. They are signed to Wind-up Records. Prior to 2003 they were known as Tetra Splendour (during which time they moved to Cardiff from their original hometown of Porthcawl) and before that (circa 2000) they went by the name of Robots in the Sky. The current name is derived from the band's obsession with travelling (flying in particular - this is also present in song titles and lyrics of their début album as Tetra Splendour). song list including Last Man Standing, Pretty Buildings(Lyrics):
I will dive into my sleep
And I dream of the pretty buildings.
Wonder what she's doing now
And whether she's still living.
Telegraph your points of view
And Sheppard me from silence.
Sitting in this fit of rage,
I fall down from my pedestal.
I don't wanna feel this low again.
I ain't gonna steal your flame again.
I don't wanna feel...
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
Flowers bloom in harmony
And mixtapes from the 60's.
Fueled by the LSD,
He looks into his future
(Rep Chs.)
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
Honor came and I was dead
Before I left for school.
We paint the smiles onto our heads
And keep away from the animals.
And you know it hurts like hell
So when you reach the top
Just throw yourself off
And you know it hurts like hell
And that's you in a nutshell (x2)
(JD)People in Planes makes me think of you
And I dream of the pretty buildings.
Wonder what she's doing now
And whether she's still living.
Telegraph your points of view
And Sheppard me from silence.
Sitting in this fit of rage,
I fall down from my pedestal.
I don't wanna feel this low again.
I ain't gonna steal your flame again.
I don't wanna feel...
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
Flowers bloom in harmony
And mixtapes from the 60's.
Fueled by the LSD,
He looks into his future
(Rep Chs.)
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!
Honor came and I was dead
Before I left for school.
We paint the smiles onto our heads
And keep away from the animals.
And you know it hurts like hell
So when you reach the top
Just throw yourself off
And you know it hurts like hell
And that's you in a nutshell (x2)
(JD)People in Planes makes me think of you
