Edit history

PLANTS have exploded onto the Sydney punk/rock circuit with a bunch of energetic local shows in their first year. A versatile blend of catchy punk rock infused with straight up Aussie humour has them steadily growing their local audience. Quickly establishing themselves as mainstays in the rock venues of Sydney and Wollongong, the band will expand in 2019 with shows planned in Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane and beyond… The debut EP has been tracked and mixed at the Pet Food Factory (Jay, Frenzal Rhomb), and will be released on September 1 2019. Get to a show, grab a beer and get sweaty in the mosh before this band takes off.

Formed in the lounge room of a Camperdown terrace, 3-piece group 'PLANTS' create left of the dial disco-pop with an 80's Australiana tinge. With song themes ranging from the curiosity of the house cat, to exploring the universe via a clock, and the inner struggles and workings of mobile phone culture, their eccentricity is welcomed in unison with intricate melodies over driving disco tempos. Vocalist Charlie Ford doubles as a visual artist having directed videos for Courtney Barnett, Vance Joy, Ali Barter & Holy Holy. The bands shared passion of visual arts has lead to the creation of the video clip to their second single 'How's It Gonna Feel?' where they both experiment and suggest a Taoist approach to cognitive behaviour, and how our choices manifest patterns. With a forthcoming EP scheduled for early 2020, PLANTS are deep in rehearsals for their upcoming live performances.
