For Day 2 of our Women's History Month homage to artists and bands, I present you Plastiq Passion. I saw this 4-piece last month at feminist group Permanent Wave's first event at Death by Audio. Their performance was stellar.
Plastiq Passion is a band I've wanted to write about for a while. Since I first heard them on Rich Russo's radio program "Anything, Anything" on WRXP 101.9, I knew that they were something special. Their music sounded passionate, melodic, catchy, and danceable. A band this good deserves an apt description but honestly I'm not sure how to describe them much outside of simply what the band calls themselves: new wave/rock/pop punk. All I can really say is that this band is really good. Their stand out tracks on their album, To Be A Blade of Grass In Crached Cement, is "Girl," "Not Long Ago," and "I Can't Wait," which is my favorite." Not Long Ago" has some dancey guitar groove and drums that make you shake around with vocals that you want to sing along. "I Can't Wait" starts with an awesome audible bass line and steady drum beat and booms with a bold opening line: "And I'm done waiting for you/ So much time wasted/And now I'm through thinking of you." My best description of the band is like Team Dresch meets New Wave.
