Happy Faces is the debut album from PLAIINS, released through Long Branch Records. The band was founded by UK-born producer and mixing engineer Chris Reardon in 2020. As the band’s singer and main songwriter, Chris contributes writing and production across the project’s growing catalogue of over 40 released songs.

​

The album received strong critical support, including a 4/5 review from Kerrang!, and gained traction through Spotify editorial playlists such as All New Rock and Rock Rotation, as well as selections in Spotify’s Best Rock Songs of the Year. PLAIINS have toured throughout Europe and shared stages with artists including Wolfmother, Press Club, ITCHY, Cold Years and Frank Turner, while receiving international radio support including BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing.

Alongside his work as an artist, Chris works as a music producer and mixing engineer based in Hamburg, Germany, producing and mixing records for indie and rock artists.
