Milwaukee’s true believers. Though stuck in the heartland so not of the “Paisley Underground” of the West Coast, nor of the huge revivalism going on simultaneously on the East Coast, a la the Chesterfield Kings, etc., Plasticland had the musical chops along with the damn-near-perfect surrealist lyrics to make you question exactly when this album came out. Worshippers at the feet of the Pretty Things, they deliver a storming brace of tracks which would’ve made May, Povey, Taylor and co. very proud indeed.
Plasticland were an American Neo-Psychedelic and Garage rock band, formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1980 with two members of Arousing Polaris, Glenn Rehse and John Frankovic.
