The band’s name sound like the epitome of postmodernism, a comment on the disposable culture – so much so that they sound like they could be any band trashy punk band from the late 70s through to post-ironic, post-Nathan Barley hipster douchery.
‘All I Really Want’ is nothing so daring – or irritating – but is instead a solid piece of indie-twisting alt-rock with a big chorus.
The Plastics may be getting some big coverage in South Africa, not least of all courtesy of Rolling Stone, and have seen comparisons to Two Door Cinema Club and The Strokes, (having also opened on tour for the former a couple of years ago), and this might be catchy enough, but as a mid-tempo not quite anthem, it might not be the cut that breaks them here.
