"The SUBSTITUTES are here to deliver you from mediocrity to the majesty of rock n roll." - KIM FOWLEY: Legendary Hollywood Guru. Jim Morrison living in a seedy Los Angeles hotel on the corner of La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. Fast forward 35 years to the SUBSTITUTES in that same graffiti covered room putting the finishing touches on their album "THE EXPLODING PLASTIC INEVITABLE." Take Hwy 5 to the 101 north to San Francisco, the city that once spawned the 60's psychedelic rock movement and hippie culture. An indie music scene currently dominates, yet the SUBSTITUTES thrive outside of this creating their own world of music, clubs and scenes. The sound: combine the guitars of Mike and Joel firmly rooted in the 70's stylings and tones while Britt and Paul channel the groove and feel of James Brown's rhythm section. Let us not forget the voice, Britt doesn't just sing, he delivers his lyrics and melodies with the soul and conviction necessary to truly convey these stories! This lays the foundation for their album "THE EXPLODING PLASTIC INEVITABLE." This record documents the five year existence of the SUBSTITUTES with songs that reflect the dualities of California and its inhabitants: This is the beautiful, sad, and ugly truth of our land. Now let the SUBSTITUTES remind you of a past when rock n roll walked the earth while they walk you into a future that's wide open.
