DAZED & CONFUSED

Four gorgeous girls playing punked-up bursts of 70s rock

...the same poppy attitude and universal appeal as the Donnas & Avril Lavigne'

Behold bona fide French rock n' roll

Product Description

2007 debut release from this new French quartet. The Plastiscines are four girls, reminiscent of The Runaways, with lyrics primarily in French, despite the English song titles. The Plastiscines are part of the new wave of French talent consisting of young middle class kids picking up guitars and letting loose. There has been a large (and positive) reaction to the new movement in the French press and that news is starting to spread worldwide. Catch them before they catch you!. 13 tracks. EMI. 2007. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good pop-punk, very good for a first CD, October 20, 2007

Its hard to compare their music to other bands, their French background brings a fresh style to the genre. They remind me of the Go-Gos with their fast beats, strong vocals & explosive guitar riffs

3.0 out of 5 stars Blondie; almost, April 4, 2008

I read a review mentioning Blondie as a major influence on the Plasticines. Being a serious Blondie fan I decided to give them a try. The influence is indeed very strong and easy to recognize. Unfortunately they do not have the wide artistic range of Debbie Harry and Chris Stein and resemble only Blondie's punkier stuff. The Blondie songs that comes most to mind are Detroit 442 and the Hardest Part. Nevertheless, they do that part of Blondie's style very well. I like them and am glad to have the album. I recommend them to all serious Blondie fans, but doubt their appeal to wider audience.

LP1 is a solid album for a debut, and is actually quite diverse. "Loser" is probably the most single-worthy, in my opinion, and is my favorite song from this album. I can't stop listening to it...very catchy. The first three songs on the album are my favorite, and there are a couple of tracks that I do skip over, but I think it should be noticed that they have the talent and ability to take future releases higher. This is a good debut album, although at times it does sound as if they're trying to find "their" sound. I do recommend this album to anyone, and I also can't wait for the next one!
