Sounds LikeRecent Press:

"The word is spreading around triple j about this band. And on the strength of this track (Empire Falls), for good reason. Touches of Arcade Fire, Bowie and a lovely little xylophone." - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J

"Simply, this song (Empire Falls) is a celebration. It rumbles, twinkles, and stomps; there's a lot going on but you don't notice it, you're too busy enjoying the ride! And it WILL have you singing along...."falling, falling, falling...something, something, furthest corner of the former empire..." Great stuff!" - Caz Tran, Triple J

"Can someone please put their album out?" - Craig Mathieson, Mess and Noise

"It's a thrilling beginning for these guys - full of creative savvy and hopeful hearts - and I wish there were more bands in the country that sounded so sincere." - Beat Magazine

"...a sound as diverse and inventive as sextet Plastic Palace Alice is the type that cuts through hype and hyperbole and makes people listen." - Wireless Bollinger

"...lush, dense...stunning, theatrical..." - Beat Magazine

"Plastic Palace Alice is set to modestly sneak up behind us and let out an eye opening "boo!". Reflecting a diverse number of influences, their music glistens and booms its way into your heart. The band's latest single Empire Falls would turn Rome's bloody topple into a cascading flow of refreshing bloom...I can't wait for the album." - The Sandwich Club

"Some songs have a nice beat" - Rob's mum

   About Plastic Palace Alice

Plastic Palace Alice returns triumphantly with new single 'No Shame'. This is the band's first release since last year's critically acclaimed debut album, "The Great Depression".

'No Shame' signals a change in direction for Plastic Palace Alice. Mesmerizing drums, a throbbing bassline and explosive guitars replace the baroque orchestration of much of the band's first album. Lyrically, 'No Shame' is cathartic and hopeful, and attempts to deal with the fear of death that we all experience in our darker moments. Plastic Palace Alice is planning an Australia-wide tour in October 2009, courtesy of a federal government touring grant awarded in May. The band is also touring Sydney and Melbourne in July 2009 with Brendan Welch, playing support and also playing as Brendan's backing band. Plastic Palace Alice are currently working on their follow up album, due for release early in 2010.

"...one of the country's 'bands to watch'..." - Clem Bastow
