We Know, Plato! was formed at the dawn of 2007 with Benvolio Willson and Mark Strong, and slowly surged through a musical village, collecting various musicians and sorting through them until the dawn-treading beast arrived at a four-member destination, with Daniel Medley and Todd Baker.
The stylings are of a variety of influences, from Simon & Garfunkel to Ben Folds Five to The Killers; the lyrics from childhood to heartbreak, death, and rebirth.
There is one EP- "In Moonlit Sound"- currently out, with another one entitled "Turn On the Outside Lights" on its present way.
The band has had its successes lie both on the playing field and off. Their song "Satellites" was featured on Warner Brothers' popular teen-drama show "Gossip Girl", sharing the air with the likes of Kings of Leon- one of Willson and Medley's personal favourites. The band has also been so fortunate as to share the stage with the likes of the critically acclaimed Parachute, Lydia, and Ben Folds Five's Darren Jessee's latest project, "Hotel Lights".

"An eclectic mish-mash of styles and moods—not only from song to song, but even within the same tune, as Clues prefer non-linear structures to typical verse-chorus-verse patterns. It’s a perfect mix of catchy pop and off-the-wall weirdness, and a brilliant addition to the Montreal indie rock canon. DISCORDER"
if it makes sense to you it makes sense to me...I like the sound of that Alex Enggist and the We Know, Plato's! sounds like 2 mega-million dollar acts rolled up into one crazy supergroup, bent on media domination
Thanks guys for your support of our anti pay-to-play site. No matter where you live, no matter what kind of music you make, this is a practice that exploits musicians and will ruin your scene. Please spread the word. Sounds great, by the way.
