SINGLE OF THE DAY- The Plastic Pals- Plastic Pal

-

The Plastic Pals are a Psychedelic/Garage Rock Combo from Stockholm, Sweden. The Quartet describes their music as "Magic melodies with a dark edge". The band combine soaring melodies, groovy guitars and bass sound that are fun and fresh

They first formed in 2005, after naming themselves after a scene in A Hitchiker's Guide To the Galaxy. The Plastic Pals consists of Hakan " Hawk" Soold ( Vocals, Guitars), Anders Sahlin ( Guitars, Backing Vocals),  Bengt Alim ( Bass) and drummer Olov Oqvist. The band have been making inroads during their 15 years, performing across Europe and the USA, as well as receiving regular airplay on UK and USA radio stations.


Plastic Pal is the first single taken off their upcoming EP, due out this Spring. The track begins with the memorable line I'm your plastic pal who is fun to be with segues into a twin-guitar assault. The groovy harmonies combine to create a catchy riff. The guitars are slick, providing an ample supplement to Soold's crooning timber. The drums pound on every beat, as the driving guitars roll along to a mid-tempo. Witty lyrics and engaging hooks are the main course to make a sweet power-pop track, suitable for radio.

Plastic Pal is a song that makes this reader want one. It is 2 minutes of fun and energy that is hard to shake off.

The review was written by Anselm Anderson for Rambling Man's Reviews.

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray.

The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world.

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton...
