Plans Within Plans is the ninth studio album by American punk rock band MxPx, which was released on April 3, 2012. It is their first original album since 2007's Secret Weapon. The album was released on MxPx's own label, Rock City Recording Company, as well as a few others in various countries including Bullion Records in Japan, Flix Records in Europe and the UK, and El Shaddai Records in Australia and New Zealand. Plans Within Plans was written, recorded, and produced by the band.
Vocalist and bassist Mike Herrera said that the album's title related to the mayhem around writing new songs, recording them and doing all of the booking and performing concert tours.[3]
