Rock outfit PLAIINS present new single ‘Happy Faces‘ along with a music video. This is the first single from their debut album which will be released this summer via Long Branch Records.
“’Happy Faces’ is a fast and raucous punk indie song about the duality of the protagonists views of the importance of putting on a happy face to promote a joyful view on the world and being courageous, throwing yourself into the unknown and the compromising hypocrisy of going too far,” comments singer Chris Reardon. “Do you become a happier freer person or is it a mere mask obscuring a person’s view on reality? As the song starts it all seems to point toward the first but as the song progresses the protagonist takes things further and further. Buying a whole bar a round of drinks on his credit card without any thought. As he burns out into an insanity, screaming “Happy dumbass faces”.”
PLAIINS hit you like a freight train – songs full of power and character, craziness and energy. Founded by singer Chris amidst the pandemic PLAIINS are growing on the soil made fertile by bands like IDLES, QOTSA and Turnstile. Since the release of their debut single ‘The Wolf’ in March 2022, Dizzy, Flo, Timon and Chris have racked up tons of streams, been featured in major editorial playlists on all important platforms (All New Rock, All New Punk etc) and been a recurring guest on big radio stations like BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and RBB Fritz.
