Real name: Derek Lyn Duncan

Effective period / Period of releases: 2010

DEREK LYN PLASTIC conjures up post-apocalyptic images of neon-lit back alleys and light-saber switchblades, with it's hopeless bad-boy romanticism vibe set to twitching keys and guitar fuzz.The sound is catchy enough to be placed alongside any of today's most notable punk-pop.Casual fans of this genre might just find a new favorite mad scientist in DEREK LYN PLASTIC. (MAXIMUM ROCK N' ROLL) ....

I do believe it's more of a spontaneous generation than an empty trend--new wave smacked on the jagged boulders of garage rock, exploding in a bounty of once-buried treasure.Science experiments gone wrong,psychosis being wrestled with, and dirty electronics used as percussion instruments and then caressed back into a melody.The best of all,the songs are thickly spined and muscled into form by solid songwriting instead of mere shtick.In turn this reminds me of Gary Numan,Joy Division.Good stuff.(RAZORCAKE)....
