RAW PLASTIC is the new project by Sebastian Polus and Bastian Najdek (both play in Polish bands Syndrom Paryski and Revive). The Covid lockdown and Sebastian’s temporary move to the UK enabled them to explore their long-time idea of writing some lo-fi melodic-yet-punky songs. RAW PLASTIC sees the two blending various inspirations like 90s emo, surf rock, shoegaze and post-hardcore with the vibe of longing for summer and safer, easier times.

While we might still be reeling from the fan favorite “Promo 2020”, RAW PLASTIC have returned with four great songs to scratch the itch of longing for summer. RAW PLASTIC show that as the world begins to thaw they are able to blend together the cool, laid back sound of bedroom pop and the post-hardcore angst of their roots. The result is four songs filled with an unparalleled “vibe” sure to get you nodding your head and swaying to the beat.

The final tracks of Sunstroke's single series showcase the band at the top of their class.

DOWNWARD - Leechy

HOLY FIGURES, a three piece band from North Carolina whose sound is based on a convergence of influences from rock to post-hardcore, deliver on their debut EP titled "Luck of the Draw". The release will call to mind bands such as FAR, Jawbox, and even certain eras of Deftones. "Luck of the Draw" features four tracks of post-hardcore rock that showcase the band's innate ability to balance heavy, driving rhythm without sacrificing melody. Lyrically Owen Smith, guitar and vocals, used the EP as a way of addressing past drug abuse through creative personification. The result is songs that are both relatable and honest.
