Plasticdrop are an italian rock band formed in Cagliari in 2015. The lineup consists of Paolo Pani (lead vocals, guitar), Martina Manca (bass) , and Alessandro Brundu (drums).
The members of Plasticdrop met while playing at the same studio with different bands, as teenagers. The guitarist and singer and the bassist had some common friends, the drummer was younger but already known among the local bands. Martina and Alessandro started playing together in an alternative band called Wornout, while Paolo used to play the bass guitar in another project “Speedy rocky”. Paolo had some acoustic tracks and decided to share them with Alessandro, they agreed in choosing Martina as the perfect bass player for the project.
The band made their first public performance in March 2016. After achieving a local following with their gigs, they released the first ep in 2019, “Phenicopters”, five years before the album’s recording.
In October 2024 they released the first single of the new album and after a few weeks signed for an independent label, Argoanauta Records.
The Plasticdrop has been labeled primarily as alternative rock, post grunge, hard rock; several tracks also incorporate elements of stoner rock and punk rock.
The new tracks melt melodic and heavy elements. Their lyrics cover a wide range of topics, like personal relationships, the feeling of isolation related to the island where they come from and the degradation of the society in general. The band would explore a new direction on this album, pursuing a new, rawer, sometimes gloomy sound.
