The best kept secret in music
Press
A journey through a landscape of pure rock, pop and pyschedelic brilliance. - Rip it Up
This is the kind of album that will help redeem your faith in 21st Century rock. - Pavement
One of Pluto's biggest assets has always been singer Milan Borich. This man looks like a rock star - tall and thin, he dresses like an argument ...and he sings like one too. His voice moves effortlessly frmo tender whisper to strangulated threat, from sexy and swaggering to bitter and twisted, while guitar shocks and delights the ears. - Sunday Star Times

Bio
In this time of anonymous plastic pop, materialistic empty hip hop and production-line guitar groups, more than ever a true rock n roll band is whats needed. And thats what makes Plutos timing perfect. Their 2nd album, Pipeline Under the Ocean, is complex, unique and different from anything else around.
The mark of a truly artistic band is a willingness to experiment within ones chosen medium, says vocalist/guitarist Milan Borich. We set out to make the greatest record we could, without the slightest bit of hesitation or compromise. And we needed to make this album. Rock n roll needs a kick in the ass and needs a band to breathe life into it again.
Almost four years have passed since Pluto released their debut album redlightsyndrome. In that time, the band have enjoyed minor highs and taken a few hits, but theyve finally delivered on their early promise by finding their collective voice on Pipeline Under the Ocean. Pluto recorded Pipeline Under The Ocean in various studios in Auckland and London. Upon its completion it was clear to the band that together they had created something special.
In many ways this feels like a debut record for the band, says Mike, because its the first one where everyone in the current line-up has contributed to an equal extent.
Pluto have shaped a record that reflects their rapid creative growth and refines their songwriting into something more intricate and compelling, while still remaining fit to burst with the band¹s trademark harmonies and melodic power.
This record has a lot more self-belief invested in it, explains Mike. When you realise that youre actually doing something that's worthwhile and that youre into and that you¹re all getting something out of creatively while working as a group, then you do start to feel really strong as a band.
Pipeline Under The Ocean is evidence that Pluto are one of todays most inventive and important young bands, a force to be reckoned with. Back on the scene with a vengeance, Pluto are already masterminding their next leap forward. As Milan says, The reason we do this is because we fucking love it.
