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.
