Sky Eats Airplane was an electronicore band, formed in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2005. The band was signed to indie label Equal Vision Records and most recently released their self-titled full-length album through the label in July 2008. In March 2012, the official Sky Eats Airplane Facebook fan page indicated that there would be new SEA music sometime that year, although in November it was revealed that the band appears to be in an indefinite hiatus.

Sky Eats Airplane was formed originally by Arlington Heights High School students Brack Cantrell and Lee Duck of the band Our First Fall. The two left their previous band and began writing heavier music while experimenting with synthetic beats in the background, quickly gaining a following.

After working on some demos, the band received attention on Myspace. They began working on their debut album Everything Perfect on the Wrong Day in early 2006 using Propellerhead Reason, Adobe Audition and a guitar. Over a three-month span they self-produced the nine-track album. Sky Eats Airplane held their CD release party for their debut album at The Door in Dallas, Texas, drawing 125 people. In late 2006, Brack left the band to concentrate on his solo work and finish high school.

Lee Duck asked Zack Ordway, Kenny Schick, and Johno Erickson of local metalcore outfit (In Theory) to join Sky Eats Airplane. This led to auditioning singers via Myspace. After lengthy tryouts, they decided upon Jerry Roush from Hampton, Virginia. Roush had previously played drums in hardcore bands, and this was his first attempt as being a front man. He was sent instrumental versions of tracks "Giants In The Ocean" and "Long Walks On Short Bridges" to record his vocals over for his audition. Since the new formation of Sky Eats Airplane, they were signed to a distribution agreement with Thriving Records where they re-released Everything Perfect on The Wrong Day on November 20, 2007 and since signed with Equal Vision Records.

During early 2008 the band entered Salad Days Studios in Baltimore with producer Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, The Bled, Senses Fail), to record their self-titled follow up album. The album was released on July 22, 2008, through Equal Vision Records.
