   About The Plugs

We are not young.
We don't wear studded belts on low-slung jeans.
We don't try to sound like Arctic Monkeys.
We are four musos from Oxford.
We write clever, complex music for ourselves.
We don't write pop songs.
We do serve up the occasional indulgent slice of pop curiosity.
And we give it all away for free.

We're a lot like Elbow without actually sounding anything like Elbow.
We like close harmonies and Sus-4 chords.
We're more Supertramp than The Feeling.
We could be a bastard love child of Tool and Air.
We have been compared to Eels and Pink Floyd.
We are epic intelligent power prog.
And we don't even have a bass player.

Hey The Plugs,

A thought..... What if us (The Plug) and you guys (The Plugs) did a gig together in Sheffield at a venue called The Plug???

Is that to much plug??

Nice tunes guys, love the sound. Picked up one of your flyers at THE JERICHO TAVERN. We're playing there ourselves on TUESDAY 6TH JUNE. It's shaping up to be a great night with ourselves and Oxford bands The Drew Atkins Band and Another Loss Leader also playing. Hope you can make it!

all the best,
