Toasted Plastic


(these guys rule)
(young guns)
(interview and newest)

1. Tell me why the name Toasted Plastic.

CK: Well there’s not any actual reason. Originally when we released our first demo 3 years ago we weren’t actually planning on taking the band seriously so I just called it that, and it stuck.
--------------------------------
2. Are you happy with the transition from Toxic Christmas, to From the Balloon to the Moon, to now Ares Vallis?

SK: Yeah, it’s cool to listen to our older songs and see how we developed the foundation for how we write songs now. It’s ahhhh, a lil ray of hope for the future.
--------------------------------
3. What things do you have in the works?, splits?

CK: As of right now I think we’re just gonna play our new EP throughout the new year. We might do a split toward the summer but we actually have no concrete plans on new material. Probably some kind of full length in 2013?
--------------------------------
4. Will your touring and show schedule reach more areas once you’re out of high school?

SK: That’s really going to depend on where we’re all going to college and stuff, we probably won’t be able to play as much, but summer 2013 we’re probably gonna do a Real Nice Big Tour© and hopefully tour more in the future.
--------------------------------
5. Do you feel that your age hinders your music growth at all?


CK: In terms of travel, definitely. It’s been a real pain in the neck getting to shows (especially out of state ones) having to deal with parent permission and stuff like that. But as for like actual music development, our age doesn’t seem to put any boundary on it.
--------------------------------
6. You’re one of the younger bands on the scene, does your popularity also include your home town and the kids at school?

SK: Hahaha, not exactly. It’s been hard trying to get kids in our school to listen to music and get into the scene, and even when we throw shows around our town we don’t have a lot of success among kids we know. But it’s better to branch out anyway, and it’s cool that our music gets around the whole northeast area.
--------------------------------
7. Future goals?

CK: To release a full length and hopefully get it pressed to vinyl. Other than that, just to tour one day, and meet a lot of cool people!
