From Lancaster, Plainview formed in 2010 with Darren and Micheal writing and playing as a duo, writing mainly acoustic-based material and gigging occasionally with a violinist. With influences from rock and guitar bands like Big Star, Nirvana and Teenage Fanclub, it wasn't long before they started to write songs that needed a full band sound and electric guitars, adding Marc to the band on bass in 2012. The Plainview sound is a combination of the melodic guitar rock of the above bands, the musical diversity of Wilco and Arcade Fire and the atmosphere and textures of artists like Bon Iver and Elliot Smit
