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.

Formed in 1980 the Milwaukee band PLASTICLAND have just had their album commonly known as the “Colour Appreciation” reissued via the exceptional label and blog site THE ACTIVE LISTENER, from the garage revival scene the band made some waves in the UK after the post punk scene, punchy sound this track is a cover of a song by Pinkerton’s Colours .
