For some FREE mp3 songs, lyrics and pics, go to: http://www.theplasticinfinity.com and then come back and read this.Based in Wilmington, NC, The Plastic Infinity is an exploration of the possibilities of sound. From the most basic blues, jazz, and rock influences to the most far reaching freeform psychedelic wanderings, they bounce off of the influences of groups like Pink Floyd and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and weave them into their own strange blend of sound-scapes. There is a definite fusion of the movements and chord structures that make jazz so cool and complicated, with the pop sensibilities that draw you to bands like The Beatles and also, the weirdness that keeps you going back to your Doors and Pink Floyd records. This is music for the connoisseur. It drives your feet and makes you feel the power of heavy hitters like Robin Trower and then turns and gets introspective and sophisticated, like Jethro Tull or Jane's Addiction. Some of it is very heavy, but not at the expense of insulting your intelligence with teenage lyrics and chunk-a chunk-a metal riffs, until you want to puke. The band refers to its style as Art Rock, or better yet, a completely original moniker, 'Purple Mind Licorice Music'. Think of it as head candy. The group swings tempos and vacillates from folk, to blues-rock, to jazz, to heavy grooves, and back again. They are musically daring and committed to interesting motifs. This is a band that is not caught in the three chord pop tune hell that is prevalent on the average radio station (not to mention in the seventh plane of hell). A portion of their repertoire is acoustic in nature and will further demonstrate their versatility. The lyrics are not plucked from the lyric tree, or wrapped in cellophane, either. Written by a poet and carefully formed, they demonstrate the integrity of the music, and tell the tales of men who lead the examined life. Often cerebral but always relatable, they crown the journey into the inner ear that is the phenomenon known as The Plastic Infinity.... You'll just have to hear for yourself. The Plastic Infinity is currently looking to add a keyboardist. If you are interested and live near Wilmington, NC, please contact Trent @ 910-254-1064 (office) or email. Serious inquiries only.

Of course we only sound similar to a few of these and you'll probably think we sound like someone that we may have never even heard of. Sometimes, people tell us we sound like bands we don't even like, comments at which we alternately laugh and sob. People generally hear what they're pre-conditioned to hear, anyhow. So, open your mind and listen with no preconceived notions. Try to take it on its own merit. But at least you are making the effort to seek out new music (or you wouldn't be reading this) and that's more than a lot of people are doing. So, bravo for you. You rock. Maybe if we're lucky, you'll think we do too.
