This ironic tale of
the bands own name anguishly cries out for a new sound instead of as they
describe “the same old fashion, but with less passion.” And it seems the band
have taken it upon themselves to complete the ambitious quest and give us
something new and tasty to sink our music thirsty fangs into.
It’s Been Done exposes this bands sound as cooler than Indie
shaped ice cubes in a punk shaped glass. They have managed to blend old and new
punk in such a delicious way, using beats not too far removed from Bloc Party
and vocals echoing similarly to early Clash angst. The sexily aloof intro will
leave you salivating in anticipation of the toe tapping attitude this song
unleashes. Plastic Passion seem to
have stumbled across a new sound that appears to be sexy punk disco with a
cheeky splash of art rock for good measure. These ingredients have certainly
mixed well to show how tasty their talent really is. “Get
off you seats its time to move those feet,” sings the lead vocalist Lemmi Eaton
in his hauntingly distinctive voice, and with the guitar rifts from the future
thanks to guitarist Glenn Clift it’s hard to disobey these lads from This bands poetically
punk attitude is anything but plastic and their latest song goes beyond proving
it. The band has started to climb the ladder of the
musical elite by playing with the likes of The Foals, Blood Red Shoes, and Jack
Penate. With this little gem of exciting new music it surely won't be long
before they climb right to the top.
