PLANTS TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘FRIEND’

Sydney, Australia punk rockers PLANTS show off yet another side to their music with new single Friend due for release on 26th October via Riot Records. The upbeat tune sits somewhere between ska and punk and even has a few disco-influenced beats in the bridge. 

Bassist Nathan Briggs' vocals take centre stage - rough and booming contrasted with the backup harmonies. Friend tells a classic Aussie tale, of a mate who's always late and never returns the favour for a lift home, and yet you still keep around anyway. 

ABOUT PLANTS
PLANTS exploded onto the Sydney live music circuit with a bunch of energetic shows in their first year. A versatile blend of catchy punk rock infused with straight-up Aussie humour has them steadily growing their local audience.

Quickly establishing themselves as mainstays in the rock venues of Sydney and Wollongong, the band has also completed several short tours as far as Melbourne and the Central Coast. As restrictions relax throughout 2020, look for the boys to make their way further afield for shows throughout this great southern land.

The debut EP Songs About Mostly Pubs and Drugs Vol. 2 was tracked at The Pet Food Factory (Jay, Frenzal Rhomb), and released on 1 September 2019.

The accompanying video clip for Burger Brain is the perfect entry point for any new sprouts to the world of PLANTS. The boys have no plans to slow down though, with two more EPs due out in quick succession. Get to a show, grab a beer and get sweaty in the mosh before this band takes off!
