Its the beginning of 1997 and
where is modern music heading? Well, Plastic Eaters like
to think they know, and most who have heard their music
agree. When it seems that every other loacal Philadelphia
band is churning out third generation Cobain and the
others are trying to be the next Gin Blossoms or Hootie,
Plastic Eaters are pioneering their own genre they
jokingly call "Jungle Punk." But with jokes
aside it is the closest definition that could be placed
on them. Jungle Punk is simply the original blend of
samples, loops, and breakbeats, with punk guitars and
vocals. Of course, then bastardizing it all and putting
it into three and a half minute pop arrangements. |

Based in Philadelphia, Plastic
Eaters formed in early 1996 as a creative venture between
two of the local underground music scene's most swank
daddies. Songwriter and bassist, Stan Stammers may be
remembered for his role in the UK cult bands Theater of
Hate and later Spear of Destiny. After 5 years in the
States, Stammers found an accomplice for his new musical
endeavors in the digital visionary and vocalist Rob Daly.
Experienced, and adept at music technology, Daly has done
studio work with numerous Philly musicians, as well as
several internationally known artists and groups. And
where Stammers spent his youth in the London punk scene,
Daly spent his formative years involved in the East Coast
hardcore scene. Staying true to their roots, but
utilizing technology, Plastic Eaters, "step it up a
notch." |

Though Plastic Eaters creative
strength is in the studio, the stage is where they
thrive. Expanding to a full band, Plastic Eaters' live
performances make for a high energy event of sight and
sound. The samples and loops are all there along with the
addition of a live guitarist and drummer, giving the kids
that something extra for their buck. Plastic Eaters'
music fits in at the dance clubs, at the rock clubs, and
on the radio. Watch out for Plastic Eaters, this hot new
Hi-Fi/Lo-Fi beat combo! |
