PLAIINS

PLAIINS is all about big riffs, aggression, infectious hooks and stand out unique and crazy vocals from frontman Chris Reardon. Pulling influences from the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, IDLES and Turnstile, the band mix this with their very own blend of different cultural backgrounds, with members from the UK/ Hong Kong, Tal Pinhas from Israel and David “Dizzy” Suhlrie and Max Maeder from Germany.
Frontman Reardon’s vocals are unique, powerful, passionate and he takes on personas and characters depending on the lyrics and mood of the song. Piggies for example is sung from the perspective of a judgemental protagonist as he organises a house party. Inspired by the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, Reardon transforms into this character in full force delivering vocals with a feeling of b (...) Mehr anzeigenitchiness, sarcasm and dogmatism. The song then explodes into an anthem like chorus. 
On the song SNVKES (Snakes), Reardon’s vocals are brutal and aggressive as he passionately sings about the disintegration of a relationship. He recognises that his partner is manipulating him into blaming himself for everything and there is an angst and frustration delivered in his vocals. The band sound tight pushing tension forward as the chorus hits. SNVKES breaks into a jazz section, tempo change and time signature shift before entering the second chorus. The guitar riff is simple and catchy. Maeder adds subtle guitar licks carefully thought through with precision adding colour with Reardon playing second guitar fattening up the sound and adding more subtitles and licks into the track. Pinhas’s bass is fat and deliberate adding licks throughout the track which dance between the guitars and vocals. Dizzy’s drumming is played with precision subtly pushing the track as he plays roto toms in the drum fills creating an even more unique punk song.
The band keep things simple with a rule that every riff should be singable and the sound of the band should be recognisable. The band is all about taking things away. Every riff, note and beat is thought through and deliberate. Although the band only formed over a year ago their sound is already very formed and distinct.
On stage, they play with relentless power and a controlled like explosion. Reardon’s vocals are patched through guitar and FX pedals, feedback loops and high gain riffs meet gnarly ripping bass tones and relentless drum bashing. Weniger anzeigen
