Pleymo - Adrenaline


Has been a bit absent from the blog, as you probably have noticed. The blog has been guided by Thetania recently, think she has done really well ... really a mixed bag. There has been much that has happened, a really action-packed month, not quite as I had imagined but it is as it is!

There are still many things to be done before the end of the month, two reviews in the pipeline for WeRock that I have not even had time to begin with, how the hell should I get time to do everything? Anyway, today I slipped into some French music and a band that swings pretty good, I'm talking about a fairly unknown band on Swedish soil.


Pleymo is a French nu metal and rapcore band. The band's name apparently originates from the lead singer once having a haircut as a child that was similar to that of Playmobil figures. Their influences range from Rage Against The Machine to bands like Korn and Primus. Epic (a branch of Sony) offered the band a record deal in 2000. In 2002 they released "Episode II: Medecine Cake", produced by Fabrice Leyni. Sales of Pleymo's second album topped the 50,000 mark, establishing the band as a major new French band. In August 2002, Pleymo went on to perform at the Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and also in Osaka, sharing the stage with major international stars such as The Offspring and No Doubt. In 2007, they announced that they're going on hiatus and they still are off the radar. Mark confirmed that in a concert. Mark is going to Los Angeles, where he's going to film a movie. Franck will go to the EUA to promote his brand Kill. Benoît is going to play in a new group called Empyr, that have members from Watcha, Vegastar and the ancient singer of Kyo. Fred also is going to play in a new group called Hewitt. Davy will continue in the group Enhancer and Lula Fortune And Eric hasn't announced any project.


Todays tune "Adrenaline" is taken from the album Alphabet Prison, that was released is a 2006.
