Formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1993, Pluto began making a name for themselves 20 days after their first rehearsal. With two songs written in the first get together, they recorded them and released a 7" single on their own Popgun Records.
Having run out of cash to release a follow-up, they approached the people at Mint Records who released the "Deathstar" single in 1994 and while touring the two records, the band was in-turn approached by Shake Records of Montreal for single #3 - "Failure". This led to the Mint Records full-length release 'Cool Way To Feel' in spring 1995.
From there, the band recorded an album and an EP in December 1995 with producer Neill King (Buzzcocks, Undertones) and mixed by The Butcher Brothers (Urge Overkill, Anthrax).
The EP, 'Cut And Paste', came in early 1996 featuring one non-album track ("#17") which was soon followed by their Virgin Records eponymous debut. The label also re-released their Mint Records debut album in 1997, this time with a bigger radio push.
1998 sees their third full-length album on Virgin - 'Shake Hands With The Future'. The band has just recently completed an appearance in the pilot episode of the new Alliance/Polygram TV show 'The Crow' (based on the comic book and Brandon Lee movie of the same name).
