ABOUT

The NYC-based Plastic Eaters have become known for their signature sound that meshes the first wave of Punk with loops, samples, and break-beats. From the very first moment they took the stage in August of 1997, they've also earned a well-deserved reputation for their overwhelmingly energetic live shows. And this reputation has been solidly growing ever since.

While some call their sound "old school punk with modern techno flourishes" and others refer to it as simply "jungle-punk", Plastic Eaters are more appropriately identified as a hybrid punk rock band. Hybrid, because labeling this original quartet is not an easy feat. However, lead singer and programmer Robdaly shrugs off categories and labels, stating, "We're just trying to make Punk as we think it can be made today because as much as I love the original stuff, I also love beat editing and sampling too."

Plastic Eaters are also known for their 35mm short film ".357-11" which quickly earned the band a grass-roots cult following, as bootleg copies found their way into the VCRs and DVD players of skateboarders, tattoo artists, and tour buses. Written and directed by Robdaly, the film stars Robdaly, Stan Stammers and Sean Money in acting roles and features wall to wall Plastic Eaters' music. The short has been screened at film festivals ranging from Tromadance and The LA International Short Film Festival, to The NY International Film Festival.
