Someone brought a buzzsaw to a Yardbirds show, jumped up on stage and forced everyone to either play what he wanted or die. 
This is a compliment. There is no way I can see these guys catching on but if you’re idea of a good time is to get really high and NOT listen to all the shit you’re supposed to listen to when you’re high, Plasticland has got the cures to what ails you. Or they will make you sicker. Cuz this is a whirligig carousel of scary garagedelia dream rock. 
I enjoyed the hell out of this. 
In some alternate universe, Plasticland sold out arenas and headlined Coachella.
