Described as an antigenre blend of hip-hop, hardcore punk, turntablism, and '70s'80s horror scores, Planet B returns, announcing the upcoming release of sophomore record Fiction Prediction via Three One G on Feb. 9, 2024.

The band features Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, Deaf Club, The Locust), Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera), Kevin Avery (Field Day, Retox), and Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing). Fiction Prediction was recorded by Henshaw, mixed by Daniel Schlett, mastered by Brent Asbury, with album art and layout Neil Burke (Men’s Recovery Project, Sinking Body).

Members also play in Satanic Planet with Lucien Greaves.
