The Soft Plastics are a Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington band who recently released an excellent album Saturn Return - get it here.
Accurately described as garage pop with a nostalgic twist, Soft Plastics expertly blend melody and groove with moments of noise and power. Taking influence from 2010's indie guitar bands and alternative bands of recent years, the group are accomplished at converting fuzzy riffs and shoegazey reverb into devotional (and occasionally noisy) indie pop hooks.
If you are in the area, the band are playing their Wellington album release show tonight (2nd June 2023) at Meow.
