The Sugarplastic are an infectiously catchy pop band. They are often compared to XTC or Talking Heads, but their melodies & messages are unlike those spun by any other artist. The Sugarplastic exemplify a Scottish pop sensibility. But remarkably, while you might find yourself bopping around with a huge smile on your face to one of their tunes, you will also notice that these boys manage to convey some pretty dark (or at least serious) ideas.
