The Belfast based rock band ‘A Plastic Rose’
have been bringing their anthemic and emotionally charged brand of rock
and roll directly to their growing army of fans since 2007.
Comprising of Gerry Norman (guitar/vocals), Ian McHugh
(guitar/vocals), Troy Heaton (bass), and David Reid (drums), the
Belfast/Sligo four piece share a bond of camaraderie and common vision
that has compelled them to improve upon each release, pushing themselves
further and further in their pursuit of greatness.
A Plastic Rose have now announced a UK tour with We Came From Wolves (details below) and have released a brand new track called ‘Foreign Soil’ from their upcoming album. [Camera.Shutter.Life which is to be released on the 22nd October 2012 through Di Di Mau Records/Third Bar.]
We took an early listen to ‘Foreign Soil’ and here’s what we thought:
A shivering grid of looting guitar-sound rushes in to greet you.
Then an icy voice is heard struggling against the acid licks. The pace
changes direction for a moment – as if it is lost. Then, with screams of
anguish, the song howls back into view, piercing the darkness with a
generous chording riff .
The verse seems beautifully at home in the blistering meshwork
prison that surrounds it. But it is the oven-hot chorus that will make
you scream with joy. With thumping percussion, spraying and threshing
rhythms, and pulverizing bass- the finale is a cataclysmic climax that
will shake you out from the inside.
Devastating and essential.
