Plain White T's

Since emerging in 1997, the multiplatinum Chicago quintet has amassed an enduring, engaging, and enigmatic catalog, spanning two gold-certified offerings “All That We Needed” (2005) and “Every Second Counts” (2006) and unshakable anthems such as the double-platinum “1,2,3,4” and platinum “Rhythm of Love.” Among the discography, “Hey There Delilah” went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot 100, and earned a pair of 2008 GRAMMY Award nominations in the categories of “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.”

Along the way, Plain White T’s logged countless miles on the road in front of sold-out crowds in nearly every corner of the globe. After a whirlwind tour cycle supporting 2015’s “American Nights,” the guys hunkered down and began writing the ideas that would eventually comprise 2018’s “Parallel Universe.” The band’s endlessly hummable signature melodies still shine at the center of this galaxy, but their “Universe” morphed into an otherworldly atmosphere of ethereal electronic pop strengthened by lush guitar tones and synth transmissions.
