They say never meet your heroes but thank goodness test plan ignored such advice. The trio are big fans of New York’s A Place To Bury Strangers and played their London Residency put together by Keith Miller of Bad Vibes. The bands met and this was followed by an invitation to play New York’s New Colossus Festival based on Oliver Ackermann (guitar, vocals) raving about their performance. Dedstrange label and New Colossus co-founder Steven Matrick could not resist reaching out.
The March festival in New York saw test plan play multiple times and the two bands then remained in touch. Test plan reached out to Oliver about doing a remix and the result is ‘Have You Ever Been In Love’. The drums of test plan’s Max Mason makes it all the more special.
