Biography
Since 2005, Plastic Chord has toured and eaten breakfast around the middle-west portion of the USA.
In late '07 they released an album called Colonial Conundrum. As you may or may not have expected from the title, it is about tyrants, madness, cities, umbrellas, and driving. It spent 4 weeks on the cmj top too-hundred, peaking at #115 and continues to get play on many US and Canada radio stations.
