PLAIINS Drop "Do One" Video — WATCH🤩

Fiery indie punk band PLAIINS have released new single "Do One."

It's the fifth track from their upcoming debut album Happy Faces, set for release on August 15 via Long Branch Records. 

"Ahh! 'Do One,' this is one of my favorites on the album and says so much about weird meetings I've had over the years with people in the music industry. It's all based on real experiences," says frontman Chris Reardon. "I remember the whole first verse came to me on the train and I had written the verse guitar riff a few days before and recorded it on an acoustic guitar in my phone. When I met with the guys and showed it to them, I remember they were all laughing hysterically, which is always a good sign in PLAIINS. It means everyone is super into it and fired up!"

He continues, "From there, we all worked on it and built it up in stages. It's quite a complicated song with weird breaks and flow changes, and I think we pulled it off. It really felt like we were in the zone on all fronts, working on the composition, the lyrics, the vibe, and energy. We developed the song further with our producer Manuel Renner in pre-production and then we played this song live quite a lot, which really helped. Like doubling the second chorus for example, that wouldn't have happened unless we played it live a lot. Especially a song like this, which is just pure energy and driving force."

Reardon finishes, "The whole spoken word bit about the Korean market, BTS, and Black Pink is all from the original demo from the very first session. That's always nice when that happens, and I think you can hear it. First take, not thinking about it, and just hoping that everything lands in the right place, which it did luckily! But yeah, not a lot else to explain lyrically. It's all there. My Dad's from England and my Mum's from Hong Kong, you fuck!"

"I wanted us to make an album that would stand the test of time, is coherent and characterful, unique and of our own and would be a great contribution to the wonderful catalogue of rock music.
