Whereas the band's current CD, Spiritual Kung-Fu, presents Johnson as a devotee of the Alice in Chains school of reedy yearning, live he's a far different animal. Even better, Johnson never appears to be faking it. Thus far in their four-plus years in Madison, Plastic have mostly stuck to Badger State venues and airwaves. A few months ago, the band received its first quantum boost in confidence from the licensing deal for Spiritual Kung-Fu that they inked sight unseen with Germany's Square One label. Now all they need is the kind of break only a muscular American label can provide.
Plastic is a five piece band from Wisconsin.
Plastic is a new sound of rock-pop that meets old school sounds of new wave music. The band has been together for five years and has pretty much tackled the Midwest market with touring, press, radio, and selling their own indie record at their shows. At first listen you may think that their sounds are somewhat dated but once you live with it, you will notice that they have revolutionized the already essential foundations of their past. They have some overall great songs with some amazing vocals. Not to mention all the choruses that radio loves are plugged in there too.
