A new rubric from my side on this wonderful platform:
the recommendation of the week.

+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW

My intention is trying to show you new music I found that I like and that you might like, too. Here it doesn't make a difference if the music I recommend is the latest release of some artist or just good music from some time ago. Neither it is bound to genres or styles.
Here we go.

Plasticines (Garagerock/ Pop)

Rock'n'Roll music from France actually always has been something quite rare. Especially in english language. But Perpignan's finest, the Hushpuppies, showed Europe, and especially England, how it can work and suddenly there is a french band singing in broken english with a heavy brit-pop influence. And everybody likes it!

Plasticines from Paris are less poppy. Their english defenitely isn't much better than the Hushpuppies', but therefore they prefer to kick your butt with their own version of dirty punkrock with some sort of poppy elements. After all, they're just girls. No, but let's get serious again: it's exactly the mensioned poppy elements that make their music so receivable. It's too hard for superficial Girlie-Pop-Punk à la Avril Lavigne and, on the other hand, it's not rough enough to be called something like Riot Grrrl, with bands like Le Tigre or Bikini Kill. Plasticines' badly recorded, dirty sounding garage punkrock is just in-between. Which won't mean, that the four girl band doesn't know how to scream, shout and squeal.

In their songs it's all quite about having fun while performing the music, which actually means that the lyrics aren't that important. One song for example is about their former drummer Zazie Tavitian riding bycicle ("Zazie fait de la bicyclette" - one of their few french songs). Right.

To this day they only released one single album, their well accepted debut album LP1, which was released in 2007 at the french division of major label Virgin. And though Plasticines yet do not seem to be that well known, they also had a slot at this years edition of american Coachella Festival. So you better keep your eyes open for four young pretty french girls playing kickassrocknroll in english with a huge french accent. Everybody loves english with french accent...
