Plastic Poetry
Biography
Formed within the Glasgow music scene, Plastic Poetry emerged as a four-piece band drawn together b y a shared sensitivity to atmosphere, storytelling, and understated emotio n. Rather than chasing strict genre definitions, the band developed a soun d built on texture, repetition, and melodic patience; allowing songs to un fold gradually and breathe. Lyrically, Plastic Poetry focus on the inner l ives of ordinary moments: love without drama, loss without
spectacle, and the quiet disillusionment of modern urban life. Their writing explore s the tension between
closeness and isolation, particularly within an increasingly digital and fragmented world.
Over time, the band have refined their approach into a distinctly post-romantic language; music tha t acknowledges melancholy without indulging it, and beauty without idealis ing it. This evolution finds its clearest expression in their latest full- length work.

VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND
Vampire Boyfrie nd is a dreamy altpop band based in Rotterdam, led by singer-songwriter Ja nine van Osta (also known for her solo work as Saint Helena Dove and as a longtime member of Broeder Dieleman’s band). With roots in Zeeland and Fla nders, the band crafts melodic, introspective songs that flirt with darkne ss while radiating warmth and emotional clarity.
Van Osta writes all of the band’s material, often addressing her younger self with both vulner ability and a wry smile. “With Saint Helena Dove, I tried to please others ,” she says. “With Vampire Boyfriend, I try to please myself.” The result is a sound shaped by personal storytelling, 60s-inspired pop, and hints of goth and grunge, carried by Van Osta’s distinct voice and arresting melod ies.
The band’s aesthetic playfully nods to horror films, occult symb olism, and teen goth nostalgia — yet at its core is a message of self-acce ptance and soft rebellion. Even Lucifer is welcomed with love. “My thirtee n-year-old, Green Day–loving goth self is thrilled with what I’m doing now ,” Van Osta says. “So is my six-year-old self in a princess dress listenin g to ABBA.”
Fans of acts like Melody’s Echo Chamber, Lucy Dacus, or U nknown Mortal Orchestra will feel right at home, but Vampire Boyfriend inv ites everyone in, holds your hand, and shows you that the dark isn’t so sc ary after all.
