Plastic Heroes was formed in London by Marc Olivier (Vocals/Guitar) and Simon Nelson (Bass/Bv’s). They unleashed their blend of stylish New Wave rock with a hint of French pop on the capitals coolest venues. 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.
