Artist History If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where Plastic Mastery were born, and what our lousy childhoods were like, and how our parents were occupied and all before we had this band, and all that David Copperfield kinda crap. But we don't feel like going into it if you wanna know the truth. In the first place ,we are from Tallahassee, and in the second place, the parents of our five members would have about two hemorrhages apiece if we told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially since we've only been together for two years and all. They're nice and all-I'm not saying that- but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, we're not going to tell you our whole goddam autobiography or anything. We'll just tell you about these violins, trumpets, and madman guitars, and how we like to use one track of distortion just for the drums. I mean that's all Jeremy and Nick told each other about, and they're brothers and all. They're in Florida, along with Larry, Juliet and Tic. That isn't too far from whatever crumby place you're at, excluding maybe New Zealand, and we'll come over and tour practically every weekend. We're going to tour around the country next month maybe. Jeremy just got a new distortion pedal. One of these little English jobs that can erase all tone and make this angry white fuzz. It cost him damn near twenty bucks. We've got a lot of dough, now. We didn't use to, but it's the beginning of the semester and financial aid just came in and all. We wrote this terrific bunch of songs. In case you never heard of them, the best ones are about angels, and the fall, and all that kinda stuff. They kill us. Now we're released all over the world, Plastic Mastery, being prostitutes. If there's one thing we hate, it's being sued by writers we love. Don't even mention that to us.

Press Reviews In The Fall OF Unearthly Angels CD / Magicmarker Records - "I just haven't heard a record so instantly grabbing and brilliant in a long time...every single songs is an epic, whether it's one minute long or five minutes long. Always at the heart of the songs is Jeremy Underwood and his acoustic guitar and energetic voice, while around him you'll find guitars, drums, organs, strings, brass, and more. This is the ambitious record that Neutral Milk Hotel could've made if you took away their drugs and told Jeff Mangum to write only pop songs. I think you could call this whole album a symphony. Never have I heard such a cohesive record, and it's only 30 minutes long! There is no doubt in my mind that Plastis Mastery will be in my top ten list this year, just as they were last year..." -Chris Mac- indepages.com Before The Fall CD/LP / Twentyseven/Milquetoast - "Tallahassee, Florida's Plastic Mastery likes to fill in everysquare inch of its allotted piece of butcher paper. "When The Sun Came Up" could be a Monday-night-indie-rock, superjam session at your neighborhood coffee house. One thing is for certain; What at first seems like a ramshackle, unfocused, random noise can be curiously addictive-even refreshing. Give the Plastic Mastery 10 minutes out of your precious little life and it will probably make you a convert." - Jud Cost / Magnet Magazine
