A Plastic Rose – For REDFEST

The Belfast based rock band  ‘A Plastic Rose’ have been bringing their anthemic and emotionally charged brand of rock and roll directly to their growing army of fans since 2007.

Now the band has been announced for the incredible REDFEST 2014 (and also the Great Escape in Brighton May 8th and 9th.)

Comprising of Gerry Norman (guitar/vocals), Ian McHugh (guitar/vocals), Troy Heaton (bass), and David Reid (drums), the Belfast/Sligo four piece share a bond of camaraderie and common vision that has often compelled them to improve upon each release, pushing themselves further and further in their pursuit of greatness.

The verse seemed beautifully at home inside the blistering meshwork prison that surrounded it. But it was the oven-hot clay chorus that made us scream with joy.

With thumping percussion, spraying and threshing rhythms, and pulverizing bass-notes,   the finale was a cataclysmic earth-shudder that shook us out from the inside.
 
Devastating and essential.
