The Plan - Discography (1999-2002)

    The Plan was a post-hardcore band from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Members of the band were also in the excellent Equation Of State and North Of America. Starting out in 1999, The Plan broke new ground and immediately made huge waves in the Atlantic Canada hardcore scene. Throughout the bands 3 year active period, The Plan managed to release a host of impressively written and tight songs that displayed their mastery of controlled chaos, angular riffs and moody-math rock driven songwriting.

    The Plan expertly melded syncopated and staccato rhythms with blistering punk energy to create an entirely unique sound that would later influence countless punk, math-rock and post-hardcore bands, particularly on the eastern seaboard here in Canada. Although they might not have been the most popular band, they certainly made a splash and imprinted on all those who saw them live and bought their records. 

    The Plan's sound, style and love of experimentation should not go unnoticed or be forgotten anytime soon; revisiting this band's discography really has made me realize what a intense, creative force they were. I can definitely still hear their sound reflected in more recent Canadian post-hardcore bands and I doubt their creative influence will lose hold anytime soon.
