Plastic Inevitables (formerly Super Tuesday) are a three-piece garage-rock (though they refer to themselves as "garage-pop") band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The members include Cincinnati natives Phillip Alexander, Andrew Oliver, and Robert Francis. The group has independently released two EP's and two full-length albums, most notably 2011's Technicolor Hand Fruit. They are known for wearing only primary colors onstage, as well as playing primary colored instruments and keeping this color scheme on their album art, etc.

History

The band began in 2006, under the moniker Super Tuesday. They released two EP's under this name, one being self-titled and released in 2008, and the other, Tedious Burr, released in 2009. The band changed officially changed their name to Plastic Inevitables on January 1st, 2010.

Plastic Inevitables won The Underground's 2010 Battle of the Bands in Cincinnati. Among the prizes were $4,000 and studio time, which the band is currently using to record a five song EP.

Reception

"Recorded in December of 2010 in an old church in Cincinnati, Ohio; they claim it was so cold they had to play with their gloves on… I’m not sure that’s wholly believable, or even feasible. A garage band at heart, and probably in the truest sense of the term, Plastic Inevitables are doubtless used to the cold, and no-one make a record this good wearing wooly mitts.

Fronted by singer-guitarist Phillip Alexander, the band attack their songs with all the youthful gusto that might be expected by a trio of musicians barely out of High School. The album kicks of with “Delirious”, a stop-start rhythm (courtesy of Andrew Oliver on bass and drummer Robert Francis) provides plenty of structure for Alexander’s words and a killer vocal hook. They slow things down a mite on “Everything Grows Taller When The Sun Goes Down”, but not at the expense of raw power, and the result is a song that brings to mind a succession of great American bands, from The Cars to The Replacements, from The Other Kids to Husker Du, without sounding like any of them.

Decidedly lo-fi, but all the more engaging for its lack of gloss, “Technicolor Hand Fruit” will surely appeal to anyone who enjoys pop music played with genuine passion and enthusiasm over soulless technical proficiency." - Rob F., Leicester Bangs

"...these new Plastic Inevitables explode with an even greater concussive force than Warhol's art machinations. PI's debut album was recorded with six mics and Garageband, influences range from VU to the Black Keys to Jack White and they have a raw talent that won't be constrained by Cincinnati's zip code. ...[The Show Piece] sounds like the Strokes recording a tribute to the Velvet Underground with Jack White producing and Wayne Coyne throwing shit around in the studio." — BB, CityBeat (FIND SOURCE- author, date, url)

According to Tyler Groover, of TwoGroove.com, "Super Tuesday’s current offerings feel like only the beginning. The right spark and this group can easily bust out of Cincinnati and start entertaining audiences all over the world!"

"Working with Super Tuesday, one can't escape the notion that we're just lifting the curtain on a stageful of precocious musicality. This will be a band to watch." — Ric Hordinski (the producer of the band's 2009 EP Tedious Burr)
