Follow Me Down

Follow Me Down

New Single Out 9 February 2026

Follow Me Down #3

Acoustic layers and orchestral strings drive this cinematic piece, showcasing a different side of our sound. When originally demoed, our bassist and guitarist swapped roles, simply for convenience. We decided to recapture that authenticity with this version. We titled it #3 because this is the third version of the song, a small nod to how The Beatles handled Revolution. The track explores loyalty, finding a way through the noise, and staying the course together.

B-Side: The Drugs Don't Work

Our take on The Verve classic is a raw reimagining. Built around guitar track originally designed to test mic placement, vocals, drums, and orchestral synth layers were subsequently added to bring the recording to life. We recorded this for our cousin, Martin, who appears on the cover art. It is a recording that holds deep, personal significance for the whole band.

New Music: Ice Cream Song - By The Sextion (A PlasticSole Subdivision)

Out Now: Ice Cream Song

By The Sextion (A PlasticSole Subdivision)

Ice Cream Song Cover Art

The Return

The wait is over. Ice Cream Song is now available on all good streaming platforms, and quite a few rubbish ones too. Recorded in a home studio in Winchester, this is high-octane indie-punk at its most authentic.

The Sextion returns. This PlasticSole subdivision, featuring bassist Jamie, guitarist Simon, and drummer Steven, follows their June 2025 debut, Billionaires & Presidents, with a high-octane blast of indie-punk energy.

Ice Cream Song is a frantic, tongue-in-cheek commentary on the souring of relationships. It juxtaposes the sweet imagery of childhood treats with the biting reality of personal frustration. Musically, it blends aggressive, distorted guitar riffs with a relentless, driving rhythm section, creating a sound that is both melodic and abrasive.

Choose Your Flavour

We are offering three distinct ways to consume this track:

  • Original Mix: The raw, unedited version. Genuinely authentic and unfiltered.
  • The Shirehorses Mix: A nod to Mark and Lard's legendary comedy project. Every profanity is replaced with a classic "beep," capturing that specific late-90s radio parody vibe.
  • Radio Edit: Our radio-ready version. The edits here are subtle and smooth, making it suitable for airplay without losing the song’s punchy momentum.

The Sextion remains committed to the PlasticSole ethos: diverse sounds, straightforward communication, and music that refuses to be pinned to a single genre. This is indie-rock at its most visceral.

Official Visualiser

The Sextion: A subdivision of PlasticSole. Bridging distances in the UK to craft authentic indie pop and bombastic hard rock. Pure. Genuine. Undeniable.
