British Indie Rock Pop
On 15th February 2025 we will be playing at The Hobbit Pub, 134 Bevois Valley Road, Southampton.
This time, they tackled Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". The choice of songs pays homage to the rich musical heritage of Birmingham, the birthplace of heavy metal.
The recording session was intense and exhilarating. Both bands brought their A-game, and we are proud of the results.

Recorded at the gone, but not forgotten, Bar Central in Milton Keynes, at the end of the 90s, we've gone deep in to the archives to find the highlights of our one and only acoustic show (so far). This was a special gig, with a couple of violinists joining us on stage for a few numbers, a track never played before (or since) called Follow Me Down, and reworkings of a few of our set list staples.
We hope this will transport you back to when we were young and bring a flood of happy memories.
It was an electrifying night of indie rock pop vibes!
Thank you to all of our friends, old and new, who came and rocked out with us, we had an absolute blast!
After our last successful visit in September last year, we were so happy to rock out with you again.
Many thanks to Box Monster Promotions for putting on such a great show, as always!

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.
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.
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.
“The Fathers of Geography” is available on all major streaming platforms starting June 1st 2024 via the links below:
For our devoted fans and fellow music explorers, we’ve curated something truly special—a Deluxe Edition of our album, currently only available exclusively on Bandcamp, and in an extremely limited physical double disc CD, available exclusively at our gigs. 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?
As PlasticSole, we’ve embarked on a voyage—one that spans years, countries, and emotions. With this Deluxe Edition, you can 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 of our growth, our camaraderie, and our unwavering love for music.
So, fellow travelers, head over to Bandcamp and immerse yourself in the full experience of “The Fathers of Geography.” Let the demos whisper secrets, and the live versions transport you to the venues 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.
Thank you Hilversum! 🎶🌟

"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.
