Eat Less / Move More

We're thrilled to announce that our single, "Eat Less / Move More," hit the airwaves on September 1st, 2024. πŸŽ‰ 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

“The Fathers of Geography” is a heartfelt project that spans years.  The idea was conceived in the head of our drummer during a ferry ride in June 2014, returning from a couple of gigs in The Netherlands. 


Recording Journey

We started recording in September 2014.  Unbeknownst to us, it would take almost a decade to complete this project.  Many significant life events, and a global pandemic, all meant that we took our time carefully crafting the tracks so that we can present to the world us at our best.


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

Explicit vs. Clean Versions

We understand that sensibilities 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 sanitised experience, we’ve got you covered.

PlasticSole returned to Holland for a CafΓ© Cartouche gig


After much anticipation, PlasticSole made our overseas return with a gig at CafΓ© 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! 🎢🌟

The Ballad of Carla and Samuel

The Ballad of Carla and Samuel emerged through a fascinating creative journey, akin to the collaborative methods employed in the recent Beatles singles. The song began as an intimate acoustic demo in a cozy living room. Each band member then added their touch to transform the demo into the full song you can hear today. The track is number 12 in our 12 songs in 12 months challenge.

🎡 About the Song:

“The Ballad of Carla and Samuel” weaves a mesmerising tale of social media, love, crime, and fate. Its haunting melody echoes through time, capturing raw emotions and the inexorable pull of destiny. Imagine a clandestine affair fuelled by stolen moments, forbidden kisses, and secrets hidden in shadows.

1988

We are proud to introduce to you our 11th song of our 12 Songs in 12 Months campaign, "1988".

It's a musical odyssey that explores history, love, and the passage of time.  Musically it traverses the delicate realms of indie, rock, and pop and crescendos into a full-blown rock jam reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynyrd's free-spirited sound.

Released on the streams on 1st March, it is available from the links below in both the original, sweary, version and also a radio friendly version.

She's On My Mind

"She's On My Mind" is a track that channels Prince's approach to  "1999". The song features a rolling bassline and infectious synth stabs, and each vocal line showcases different a band member singing a line in each verse, creating a similar tapestry of voices that the Minnesota legend achieved with the Revolution in 1982.
