Artist History J & N were in bands that played together. For years they plotted to play together, only under one flag. It finally happened. Now they write songs, record them, and tour. People have gotten way more open minded in the last few years because they really seem to like PLP.

Press Reviews Point Line Plane is all about being up in your grille. A Portland duo consisting of drummer Nathan Carson (of Witch Mountain) and keyboard-player/screamer Josh Blanchard (of the Kremlin Bronx, Mome Raths, the Sensualists), PLP drops electric bombs of lightning-heavy synth aggression. Blanchard's vocals buzz with a troubled darkness, often climaxing with him recklessly tossing his body into the audience. Carson's sort-of-dancey, hard-hitting beats keep the keyboards' crash and dissonance tied to earth; by maintaining a spare, minimal sound, the band adds to its electrically charged, dangerous intensity. While Point Line Plane has only existed for a year at the most, they've just returned from a successful tour of the West Coast, playing with aesthetically similar, new-punk-underground bands such as Deerhoof, Experimental Dental School, and Numbers. Point Line Plane is not a perfect band yet, but the arty, brooding sound it has captured is already extremely refined and exciting. JULIANNE SHEPHERD - The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 8/22/02
