Fake Plastic – The Long Night
Release Date: 20th April 2024
Taken directly from the rehearsal studio, German rockers Fake Plastic are a band bringing old school rock vibe together with a punky vibe. Plus some insanely catchy bass during the verses. ‘The Long Night’ is a track that feels like it’s straight out of the 70s in terms of the flow of the song. The real highlight of the track is how real it sounds. The vocals aren’t altered to within a millimetre of what the vocalist actually sounded like. A genuine track for that feels like it could be your mates down the pub playing it.
