New: The Plasticines - Pas Avec Toi

Possibly as a result of last week's exploration of French punk, I was keen to bring things both up to date with a recent release and with one that keeps the spirit of the original punk acts alive.

The Plasticines are a female guitar band, playing an instantly recognisable high-octane garage rock with a stylish polish that caught the eye of US style magazine Nylon, magazine publisher Jaclynn Jarrett signing the band as the first act on the magazine's record label.

Influences from the White Stripes to Blondie are easy to see, a classic garage rock with a modern polish. Think more The Strokes than something off the Nuggets or its many follow-up compilations though.

The band have been going since 2007, and have released two albums, LP1 and About Love.

The Plasticines have also been featured on the TV series Gossip Girl.

The song Pas Avet Toi comes from their album About Love (Because Music/Warner)

The band are currently undergoing some changes after it was announced that Marine Neuilly had parted company with the other members. Quite what the future holds is uncertain, but fingers crossed they will bounce back.
