A youthful Sligo-raised, Belfast-based four-piece with a confident command of melody, A Plastic Rose have long since ran their influences up the flag pole, and do them proud on this new release. ‘Kids Don’t Behave Like This’ is a swooning, soaring piece of proto-shoegazing glory, vocal rippling with barely-concealed emotion until the last minute, when he explodes with a Vedder-esque roar, drawing a Biffy-tinged veil over proceedings. ‘Superspeed’ is a more tentative, gentle affair, while ‘Skin’ starts with a sniff of the Snow Patrol about it, before kicking into a radio-friendly rocker. Kids should behave like this more often.
