A few folks on here have kindly taken the time to check out my band, Shades of Plato.

Here's the lead track from our next album 'Blackout', due for release later this year.

'Menaced Assassins' is probably our most Stranglers like track i hope you enjoy!

I've got to say, from being initially disappointed, I now play this album most days. Not perfect, but more good than dross for me.

Lol,I really liked that track at the time! I'll have to dig it out from the attic and give it a play!

Can anyone commission represses of albums, or do you need some rights? Maybe paul has come to an agreement and gets part of the profit and not just songwriter royalties?

New single on Spotify. It's ok. They need to change the tune IMO. They appear to be following the book of rock standards. Gets boring after a while. Way too much distortion, effects and shit going on. Jim Agree. Just watched the video. Starts off well and then meanders into 3rd rate psychedelia. Di...

Blimey, this is difficult! As others have said it will depend on my mood. For ages, I would have said the Raven: the quirky songs, stunning musicianship, interesting lyrically. And I first saw the on the Raven tour...so it's always going to be incredibly important to me. However, it's recently shift...
