Pliny the Elder

PLANTS is a alternative hard rock band from Stratford, Ontario. Formed in 2014, vocalist/guitarist Sam Love, guitarist Brad Zoeller, bassist Max Santandrea, and drummer Ethan McCarroll began as a cover band, covering their favourite pop-rock hits from the 90's, and energetic, riff driven rock songs, playing to crowds at the local Stratford Legion. After gaining a steady following of fans over three years and being driven out of each other's houses for practice time, PLANTS looks onward to blending their creative minds together to create unique original music. With a writing process that involves all four members, each member is able to incorporate their influences within PLANTS original music. The debut, self-titled EP, released in October 2017, is available on all download and streaming services. The EP was recorded and mastered at Beach Road Studios by Sigfried Meier and Zachary Kadey. PLANTS draws inspirations from Royal Blood, Rage Against the Machine, Arctic Monkeys, Incubus, Deftones, Blink 182 and Queens of the Stone Age, creating a fresh take on alternative rock music. It is with this new approach, that PLANTS looks to alter and innovate the alternative rock scene in Southern Ontario. PLANTS creates an energetic atmosphere, fuelled by distorted guitars, heavy bass and heart pounding drums at all live shows. A PLANTS show is a must see for alternative hard rock fans and is sure to not disappoint. Debut EP now available on all platforms!!!
