About us


'FUCKING BRILLIANT!!
The songs were well crafted with a good balance of clever lyrics, good musicianship and down to earth pop sensibilities. Every member of the band brings something to the songs - an excellent drummer, a bass player who seems to play exactly the right note at the right time, a great guitarist with some tasty licks and very good backing vocals and a fantastic frontman with huge stage presence and a good voice to boot. Their brand of guitar pop is irresistible and in Stephen Evans they have a killer frontman who will find it difficult to avoid favorable comparisons to the legend that is Jarvis Cocker. A classic British band of eccentrics, they're tight, amusing yet serious and it won't be long before we're all buying their Mercury prize-winning album.'

'Topping the bill on DAY 1 are the gloriously English guitar-pop driven quirky collective, STEPHEN EVANS & THE PLANETS who have generated a significant amount of interest of late – and for good reason!'
Green Bohemia

"Every time you think you've got a handle on Stephen Evans and The Palnets sound, it darts off in another direction, citing a completely different set of influences. It’s the Beatles battling T-Rex, The Kinks and Queen sharing a stall in a souk, the Police covering the Arctic Monkeys and everything in-between. Somehow, it all works. Yes, it’s a slippery fish, but it’s one that’s worth catching."
Chris Long, BBC Manchester
