The catchy melodies and choruses are an absolute trademark from Plastica, showing the audiences that this is definitely a “song” band.

All Radio Stations are thankful, and it all sounds like the best pop/rock made in his magesty´s United Kingdom, these facts make Plastica be the opening act for bands like: Oasis, James and The Cranberries.

The high point in 2001 happens on the main stage from “Vilar de Mouros Summer Festival” where the band plays side by side with Alanis Morrissette and Sonic Youth.

This media exposure offered the band a record deal with the Portuguese major label EMI Records for 4 albums, who have been following Plastica´s highlight at the scene.

The rest of the year of 2001 was spent at the studio recording their debut album “Pop Songs & Rock People”. Produced by Rick Peet who worked before with bands like Muse, Charlatans and Six by Seven, brings this record the international touch that the band always wanted for their songs. 

At the end of 2001, the band was invited to be the Special Guest opening act for James on their last world tour at the Lisbon Coliseum and Porto Coliseum.

“Sleep all day” is the single chosen between the 14 songs from the debut album “Pop Songs & Rock People”.  A special release EP with three songs definitely unveils one of the most interesting pop/rock acts made in Portugal

“Sleep all day” goes #1 on the Portuguese charts being the most air played song of the year of 2002! This is definitely Plastica´s year... The band goes on tour promoting their debut album in almost 90 live shows all over the country. Interviews, press, radio, special TV appearances take the band to the highlight including the performance at the “Sudoeste Summer Festival” side by side with bands like Muse and The Cure.

“Honey Honey” is the 2nd single released from “Pop Songs & Rock People”, this takes the band on the road again and being Special Guest opening act for Perry Blake and the well known London’s Suede on their tour.

After “Pop Songs & Rock People”, after “Baby Gasoline”, “Sleep all day” and “Honey Honey”, after more than 90 shows in one year, the band spent the year of 2015 composing their 2nd coming album.

Creative incompatibilities with EMI Records take the band on a new record deal with the Portuguese independent label Metro.

Produced by the band members, the recording sessions take place at Plastica´s own “Red Light Studios” – a true relaxing and spiritual bunker located underground, where the red light flow is as inspiring as relaxing.

“The Red Light Underground” is the name of the 2nd coming album that shows Plastica at their best creative point on their career. The 15 songs reveal a new concept of making a CD release. A split CD with two parts just like the old fashion vinyl. The whole vinyl  concept is recovered and assumed by the band in the “The Red Light Underground” CD release ( retro sleeve artwork, retro sounding and 2 sided recording format) .

In Part A we can find Plastica stuck to the best retro Rock sessions ever made in this country in seven classic (drums, bass, guitars, vocals) rock songs with catchy choruses. In the B Part  we can find all of the 70´s psychedelic influences in 8 songs full of beautiful ambiences and sound experiments. All this takes you back on a mystical trip to the old vinyl classic format that is almost forgotten by the mainstream.

“Bugs and Astronauts” is the single taken from this album to show the Portuguese musical mainstream the new Plastica. This song is fresh, this song is something new! This song is the new Rock ´n Roll! Yes…“The Red Light Underground” is the record that the true music lovers want to listen and enjoy.
