The Plastics began in 2008 as an evolution of the punk band, Hoax. They released their first EP and music video in 2008 at Obz Cafe. They opened for the band Bed on Bricks. It didn’t take too much ’till they released their second EP named “Kiss The Plastics” in 2009. Both EPs were distributed among Cape Town’s indie elites. Later on 2009, there was a blur of music video releases for the tracks “Dirty Dancing” and “Tiny Islands”.

In 2010 they enlisted the help of eccentric music producer Gordon Raphael to work on their debut album Shark. Raphael’s background includes famous bands such as The Strokes. The album Shark was recorded at Sound and Motion Studios in Cape Town and it was finally released on July 31, 2010 at Mayhem Launch at The Assembly. The singles “Caves” and “Jukebox” were released to radio stations around South Africa and enjoyed extensive campus and commercial radio airplay. The former reached No. 1 on the TUKSfm SA Top 10 and the latter snug at No. 1 for four weeks running Jon Savage’s Rock Chart on 5fm.
