Driven by our love for music and each other, 504plan hails from the Windy City as one of several upcoming bands in creating a stir for something new in Chicago. 504plan began in the fall of 1999 with the intentions of impressing friends who lived on the block. With everything, things grow and sometimes tend to grow apart. After minor changes in 2000, Tom Conrad (guitar), Adam Anderson (Bass and vocals), Mikey Russell (vocals and guitar), and Nick Scimeca (drums) make up what 504plan is today after continuous growth of brother like friendship. We are still constantly growing, together and individually, with our lives and our music.
In January of 2002, after building a small following in Chicago by playing local shows, 504plan debuted with a 9-song release, entitled “Treehouse Talk”, on LLR Records (Chicago), as our first serious step. Production included engineer and producer Dan Wleklinski, ex guitarist for 88 Fingers Louie (Hopeless Records) and Rise Against (Fat Wreck records) at Sonic Iguana and Bombshelter Studios.
While still half was in high school, 504plan shared such stages at the Metro (Chicago), Fireside Bowl (Chicago), Chain Reaction (Anaheim, CA) and Klub Phenomenon (Freeport, IL) with artists like Knockout, Rise Against, the Eyeliners, Allister, Big Wig, the Reunion Show, Buck O Nine, and Showoff as well as several dates in 2001 and 2002 on the Vans Warped Tour on the Drive Thru Records, Build-it and Ernie Ball Stage. After heading out on the road for the first time on a West Coast tour in the summer of 2002 and becoming even more in tune with ourselves and each other, 504plan has become more than a priority to us, its why we wake up every morning.
