PLOSIVS formed in San Diego, CA last Friday at 2:15pm PCT.
Their foundation is built on the songwriting collaboration of Rob Crow and John Reis (both with a long rap sheets of musical exploits dating back to the late 80’s and extending to present day).
Rob’s is probably most recognized as half of the duo Pinback and has also helmed groups such as Heavy Vegetable, Goblin Cock, Rob Crow’s Gloomy Place as well as literally 45 other recording projects.
John is most associated as being Hot Snakes riff architect and axe slinger, Rocket From The Crypt carnival barker and Drive Like Jehu’s guitarsonist.
Together they utilized a year of cancelled tours, postponed record releases and a vast horizon of unemployment to create a new sound in the “distance rock” movement.
Even though they live 10 miles from each other, ideas were mailed back and forth during quarantine and the decision was made to make a band out of it.
Enter “percussionist to the stars” Atom Willard. Atom was the long standing drummer of Rocket From The Crypt eventually playing with the likes of Social Distortion, Angels and Airwaves, Offspring and currently Against Me!
Enter Jordan Clark on bass. Jordan would provide the youthful exuberance from whence these elder statesmen (vampires) would drink.  Jordan was the bassist of Mrs. Magician and is now the host of HGTV’s reality, realtor show, “Property Punks”.
PLOSIVS convened at Singing Serpent Studio for one day in Oct. 2020 and recorded the single “Hit The Breaks” with engineer Ben Moore (Kris Kristofferson, Tim Flannery) at the controls. The song is described as “a headfirst charge straight into the highest form of kinetic energy, be it sonic, fluid, or pure human euphoria.”
PLOSIVS future plans consist of the bands’ first shows Nov. 5 at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, CA and Nov. 6 at The Quartyard in San Diego, CA. A full length album will be released on Swami Records early 2022.
