'Plastic Heroes are the spirit of London rock n roll' - Brum Beat UK
'...an explosion of Bowie-esque guitar and punk posturing. Poppy backing vocals puncturing raw trashy melodies that are part Iggy Pop and part Blondie...if I were producing Top Of the Pops I would be playing bands such as Plastic Heroes to spice up the show, not dragging on the judges from Fame Academy' - Sunday Express
'....you'll find it pretty damn smart blasting out of the speakers full whack and you'll no doubt fall head over heels in love with them.' - Losing Today (Webzine)
'..gloriously upbeat, feel-good shot of uber-energy and is the purest epitome of the type of popular music that should be rife in the charts...this trio are awesome!' - Kidjuxta
'Instant rock classics that explode in the memory banks and refuse to let go.' - Bruce Alexander New York Waste (NYC)
'Damn fine songs' - Modern Dance Music

The band quickly earned a reputation for compulsive live shows that swaggered with wit, energy and a set full of unforgettable songs.
Their unique sound reflects London / New York / Berlin, disaffection and love affairs, combining hooky guitar riffs, biting bass lines and watertight drums. Their songs are infused with the spirit of the Plastic’s own heroes - a list inclusive of the greats from every era.
