Plastic Culture

Plastic Culture is a dynamic duo based out of Orange County, California. Formed in 2012, founding member and lead vocalist Kaitlin Allen, and lead guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Eddie Garcia have made it their mission to bring back the heart and soul of rock n’ roll with their unique method of blending rock, psychedelic, reggae, and funk. Plastic Culture will surely reach a wide variety of audiences.

In early 2017, Plastic Culture worked on a special demo with a start up label in Los Angeles, California. Fast forward to 2019, Plastic Culture has professionally re-recorded their self tilted EP that was engineered by multi-platinum record producer Frank Gryner.

Plastic Culture now has an international distribution and marketing deal with The AMG Corp and Sony Music.
