"These guys rock, in the vanguard of what seems to be a paisley Viking invasion, still wielding axes but these days they are plugged in and making glorious noises" Rob Ellen, The Medicine Show: http://www.themedicineshow.eu The Plastic Pals – from Stockholm, Sweden – released their debut album GOOD KARMA CAFÉ in 2008. An americana-tinged affair and a huge step forward for the band, while yet staying true to the twin guitar-paisley-garage-powerpop-New York rock-ideals as presented on the EP THE BAND THATS FUN TO BE WITH (2006). A collection of magic melodies with a dark edge. The sound of The Plastic Pals continues to attract an increasing number of fans worldwide. A rootsy classic guitar-laden rock sound that takes you on a time capsule from the 50s to the present. The band has been compared to bands and artists like Echo&The Bunnymen, Television, The Dream Syndicate, The Velvet Underground, Green on Red, The Godfathers, Blue Oyster Cult, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. Too rootsy to be called garage, too poppy to be called rootsy, too garage rocking to be called americana or alt-country. The album GOOD KARMA CAFÉ – with guest appearances by Green on Red´s keyboard maestro Chris Cacavas) – has received really good reviews, in Sweden as well as in the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. Tunes from the album have received airplay and/or is receiving airplay in the USA (WFMU and WFNX), the UK (BBC6 and the House for Mercy show at Total Radio), Greece, Spain, Sweden,
