Emo outfit Planes Mistaken for Stars formed in Peoria, IL, originally consisting of singer/guitarist Gared O'Donnell, guitarist Matt Bellinger, bassist Aaron Wise and drummer Mike Ricketts. Upon signing to Deep Elm, the group made its recorded debut in early 1999 on the label compilation The Moment of Truth: The Emo Diaries, Chapter Three, releasing a self-titled EP later that year. Wise was replaced by bassist Jamie Drier soon after, and following a move to Denver, CO, Planes Mistaken for Stars resurfaced on a split EP with labelmates Appleseed Cast and Race Car Riot. The full-length Knife in the Marathon appeared in early 2000.
