The band signed with the Agency of the Performing Arts in the summer of 2006, a development that resulted in a pair of national tours with Ours as well as supporting slots with Jet, Blue October, Supergrass, Sterophonics, MuteMath, and Plain White T's. Musically, their memorable melodies and driving rhythms have earned them comparisons to the likes of Doves, Supergrass, and U2.
Through online networking, social media, and the help of their supportive fan base, Plain Jane raised over $12,000 to fund their forthcoming album, Your Tomorrow, produced by Rick Beato (Shinedown, Needtobreathe).
"Around the time we started writing the album, I was spending a lot of time watching WWII films and found myself inspired by these amazing stories of survival, rebirth, faith, healing, love, and loss", notes Duke Crider (vocals/guitar)regarding the albums lyrical themes. "As I revisited the lyrics during the recording process, I noticed that a lot of the songs were tied together. I guess I'm a little obsessed with that era because my grandfather was a Polish Jew living in Germany at the time of all the madness."
The album's opener “You Were Only a Song” finds Crider brandishing the memory of a fallen friend as a sort of mantra, a reminder of the world's beauty....snatched from the jaws of a painful and trying loss. Armed with this keepsake, the band's front man confronts a myriad of challenges as the album progresses, including torturous nightmares, undue criticism from a never-satisfied
lover, as well as the general stresses of living in a time when the sky always seems to be falling.
The title track offers a fervent plea to humanity's best to never stop surprising us. According to Crider, the song is based on the story of the Bielski partisans. "They survived in the woods for over two years, rescuing over 1200 people in the process and eventually restarting their lives in New York." The album's closer, the understated “Please Leave Quietly”, represents a decision
to face whatever future lies ahead with an attitude of love and forgiveness.
Your Tomorrow is slated for release on May 9th.

Plain Jane Automobile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don’t you see it, why don’t you see it?
Sugar coated cannonballs are headed straight for me
Headed straight for me
Last night I heard the sounds, of footsteps and they were so loud
Say your mine,
Give me some time
Well I heard you saying
That your heart is mine
Knives are held to both our throats
Well then two can play
Well then tow can play
And I won’t sit outside these walls
When my steps are large and my heart is strong
Last night I heard the sounds, of footsteps and they were so loud
Say your mine,
I heard you crying and I hope you stay this time
Give me some time
Well I heard you saying
That your heart is mine
When is enough ever going to be enough for you?
Say your mine,
I heard you crying and I hope you stay, this time
Give me some time
Well I heard you saying
That your heart is mine

In "Stones" by Plain Jane Automobile, the lyrics describe a feeling of being under attack or in danger, with the repeated phrase "throw a stone and watch it roll" emphasizing the presence of a threat. The singer seems to be addressing someone directly, asking why they don't see the danger that is coming for them. The line "sugar coated cannonballs" suggests that the danger may be disguised or hidden, and that it could cause serious harm. The chorus includes the lines "say you're mine, I heard you crying and I hope you stay this time," indicating that the singer is trying to protect someone they care about, and that they hope they will stay by their side for longer this time. The bridge introduces the idea of knives being held to both of their throats, but the singer is not afraid, saying "two can play" and emphasizing that they won't be controlled by fear. The song ends with the repeated phrase "say you're mine, I heard you crying and I hope you stay this time," reinforcing the theme of wanting to hold onto someone they care about.
