Eat Less / Move More

We're thrilled to announce our upcoming single, "Eat Less / Move More," hitting the airwaves on September 1st, 2024. 🎉 This track is more than just music—it's a lifestyle anthem that'll get you grooving and thinking about health in a whole new way.

The first verse and chorus of the song sprang to life in the mind’s ear of guitarist, Simon Brindle, one morning when he was contemplating the fact he was nearing 50. The song grew when the rest of PlasticSole got in the rehearsal studio and thrashed it out. It came to life, though, on the stage, when PlasticSole encouraged chanting fans to Eat Less / Move More.

The Fathers of Geography

Introduction

Hello, music lovers! We’re PlasticSole, an indie band from Milton Keynes, known for our unique blend of indie rock and pop. We’re excited to present our latest album: “The Fathers of Geography.”

The Genesis

“The Fathers of Geography” is not just an album, but a heartfelt project that spans years. The idea was conceived during a ferry ride in June 2014, after our European tour. Amidst the rhythm of the waves, forgotten songs resurfaced, and the journey of this album began.

Recording Journey

We started recording in September 2014, driven by our shared passion. Unbeknownst to us, it would take almost a decade to complete this project. Our studio bore witness to our dedication and late-night epiphanies, with each track adding a new chapter to our musical journey.

Tracklist

1. All That You Wanna Be
2. She’s On My Mind
3. Pop Quiz
4. Where Do You Go?
5. The Black Beans of Monaco
6. Cure for the Common Cold - Remix
7. 1988
8. Uh oH
9. Tomorrow’s You Know 2023
10. Instamatic Camera
11. Nobody’s Perfect
12. Northern Girl - Remix
13. Police Woman
14. Stupid Anyway
15. The Ballad of Carla and Samuel

We understand that musical tastes vary. That’s why we’re offering both an explicit and a clean version of the album. Whether you want to dive headfirst into the raw emotions or prefer a more polished experience, we’ve got you covered.

Bandcamp

For our devoted fans and fellow music explorers, we’ve curated something truly special—a Deluxe Edition of our album, available exclusively on Bandcamp. This edition takes you behind the scenes, offering a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered evolution of our songs.

What can you expect from this musical treasure trove? 

• Demos and Live Versions:
  These are the embryonic versions—the sketches on napkins, the late-night whispers in dimly lit studios or the sweaty music venues that were The Pitz and MADCAP. You’ll hear the before—the moments when inspiration struck, and melodies were born. Imperfections and all, these demos capture the essence of our creative process.

As PlasticSole, we’ve embarked on a voyage—one that spans years, countries, and emotions. With this Deluxe Edition, you’ll trace our footsteps. From the beginning, through that ferry ride back in 2014 to the countless late nights in the studio, every note carries a story. It’s a testament to our growth, our camaraderie, and our unwavering love for music.

So, fellow travelers, head over to Bandcamp and immerse yourself in the musical DNA of “The Fathers of Geography.” Let the demos whisper secrets, and the live versions transport you to the concert halls of yesteryear. This is where our songs shed their skins and reveal their souls.

Remember: Music isn’t just about the final product; it’s about the journey that echoes through every chord and lyric.

PlasticSole returned to Holland for a Café Cartouche gig

After much anticipation, PlasticSole made our overseas return with a gig at Café Cartouche in Hilversum on Sunday, 19th May 2024. This marked a significant moment for us, as it had been a decade since our last show in Hilversum back in 2014.

We were so happy to to reconnect with all the amazing friends we made during our previous visit and to make new memories together. It was a night filled with music, laughter, and good vibes!

We were thrilled to welcome Rachel, an accomplished singer-songwriter from Australia, who we shared the stage with. Rachel's music has graced the airwaves with her well-known band, ‘ Rachel and Henry Climb a Hill’.  You can find her music on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Having made Hilversum her home to raise a family, Rachel was excited to return to the stage, and it was a truly captivating performance.

Thank you Hilversum! 🎶🌟
