Eat Less / Move More

We're thrilled to announce that our single, "Eat Less / Move More," hit 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.

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.

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

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! 🎶🌟

The track is number 12 in our 12 songs in 12 months challenge.

1988

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

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.
