Plasticine are indie sweet and sour. An incandescent cacophony of face-melting guitars delivered with husky candy floss vocals all wrapped in a Glasgow attitude. A mind meld of Smashing Pumpkins with Miley Cyrus and The Pixies with Avril Lavigne turning out pop hooks over a grungy wall of sound drenched in reverb.
Comprised of frontwoman Summer Skye, brothers Connah and Bob O’Reilly-Mclean on bass and guitar and drummer Ross Howarth, Plasticine might only have been together since 2022 but their brief existence belies a far longer gestation in the mind of their precariously talented chief songwriter.
After dropping a series of tracks including dirty grunge sing along anthem ‘DO BAD BOYS GOT TO HEAVEN’ followed by the youthful battle cry of ‘Deep End’ then the heart bleeding ballad of ‘On My Own’ Plasticine shows no sign of slowing down their sass and swagger.
