They are influenced by the American alternative rock/post-grunge scene as well as electronic and classical music, the combination of which gives the band their unique sound.
In mid-2006, Mattias left the band after they had decided to alter their sound from pop inspired 90's rock to a harder type of rock. Bandit Rock radio host Peter Kjellin replaced Mattias as bassist.
During autumn of 2007, after releasing their debut single Achilles heel on label Dogmatic, Plan Three supported Takida on their tour. Over the years they have also shared stages with bands such as 3 Doors Down, 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, HIM and The Sounds.
In early 2008, drummer Andreas decided to leave the band to pursue different paths in life. A message was published on their Myspace page, looking for a new drummer. Roughly a month later it was made clear that a new drummer had been found - Andreas Henriksson. In 2010, he left the band, and was replaced with Kristoffer Folin.
In August 2008, a single called Triggers was released. At the same time the band announced an upcoming album. In June 2007 yet another single was released, Still Broken. Their début album, titled Screaming our sins was released in November 2009. Late 2011 saw the release of the first of an upcoming trilogy of EPs, The Signal - Part One.

Chasing Tornadoes
Plan Three Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the rain as we move into
Blackened skies, what we roam
Bending trees and lifting stones
I am chasing you, I am chasing you away
I am chasing you
You need to be faster or I will catch you
You need to run, we need to run
Take a bow, take the leap
We collide in perfect harmony
Havoc rise as we near
Soon no sounds we will hear
‘Cause I am chasing you, I am chasing you away
I am chasing you
I need to be closer, I need to run, I need to run
You need to be faster or I will catch you
You need to run, we need to run
I need to be closer, I need to run, I need to run
You need to be faster or I will catch you
You need to run, we need to run
It’s always in me, it’s always in me
‘Cause I am here and it’s always in me
It’s always in me, we need to run
The song "Chasing Tornadoes" by Plan Three is a song that defies the conventions of traditional love songs. Instead, it paints a picture of a turbulent and tempestuous relationship that is fraught with tension and uncertainty. The first verse speaks of moving from "out of black, into blue," which indicates a shift from darkness to light. However, as the second line states, "Feel the rain as we move into," the transition is not easy, and there is a sense of struggle and resistance. The blackened skies and the bending trees and lifting stones evoke an image of a stormy and tumultuous environment that is both exhilarating and dangerous.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful and haunting. The repetition of the lines "I am chasing you, I am chasing you away" emphasizes the frenzied and almost obsessive nature of the pursuit. The singer's motivation is unclear, but it is evident that they must be closer and that they need to run. This creates a sense of urgency and desperation. The bridge of the song brings in a contrasting element with the lines "Take a bow, take the leap, we collide in perfect harmony." The idea of perfect harmony amidst chaos is a fascinating one, and it adds to the complexity of the song's themes.
Line by Line Meaning
Out of black, into blue
Leaving the darkness behind and moving towards something brighter
Feel the rain as we move into
Experiencing life as we move forward
Blackened skies, what we roam
Venturing through unknown and dangerous territories
Bending trees and lifting stones
Disturbing the natural environment around us
I am chasing you, I am chasing you away
I am pursuing you and trying to distance myself from you at the same time
I need to be closer, I need to run, I need to run
I'm yearning for greater intimacy with you, and I have to go faster to achieve this
You need to be faster or I will catch you
You have to keep up with me to maintain our mutual attraction
You need to run, we need to run
In order to advance together, we need to move quickly
Take a bow, take the leap
Embrace new opportunities and take risks
We collide in perfect harmony
We effortlessly come together and complement each other
Havoc rise as we near
As we get closer, chaos and destruction tend to occur
Soon no sounds we will hear
We'll be in a completely different world with no familiar sounds
It’s always in me, it’s always in me
This intense pursuit of change is a part of who I am
‘Cause I am here and it’s always in me
I embody the desire to keep progressing forward and evolving
We need to run
Together, we must keep pushing ourselves and each other to keep up
