My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/9/2005
Band Website: platesix.org
Band Members: "Dimebag" Darryl Jacks, David Hickox, Brad Davis, and usually Jason Barker
Influences: The 10-year Treasury Note
Sounds Like: "their passionate indie/hardcore is occasionally compelling"
-Fake DIY
"'Battle Hymns For A New Republic' is a sort of prophetically titled work of massive proportions."
-Toxic Pete
"These are songs that are gloriously off-kilter slices of alt-pop genius, the kind of stuff to lend itself to cult worship"
-UK Music Search
"Plate Six aren't interesting in provided light and shade"
-Rhythm & Booze
"Like their labelmates, the now defunct Hot Snakes, Plate Six play a diverse blend of post-hardcore, post-punk and indie-rock."
-411 mania
"so intense at times as to get a bit claustrophobic"
-Tasty Fanzine
"angular discordant riffs, wrenched vocals and a general defiance of accepted aesthetic norms – easy listening, they are not."
-Penny Black Music
"If it weren't for the similarities between PLATE SIX and SPARTA, I may not have even got past the first track."
-PastePunk
"Holed up in their rickety van, equipment in tow they weave from city to city to win over their crowds."
-Subbacultcha
"Plate Six could be described as cutting edge and offering something different."
-Full Frontal
"terminally geekish"
-David Pollock/The Scotsman
"Dan Hickox"
-Vanguard Online
"It is with some trepidation I put this on."
-Rock-city.co.uk
"(an) unattractive trio from the deep south"
-Sunday Times Magazine
"Steer clear if not."
-The Citizen
"has to be one of the most difficult songs I've ever listened to."
-Get Rady to Rock
