This week, the “Bite” musicians embark on their fall tour, which kicks off tomorrow in Spokane, Washington with co-headliner Cataldo. To get in the zone, we caught up with drummer Gordon Taylor to find out what he'll be listening to on the road. Check out what he has to say for these songs, and make sure to track Plastic Picnic to see where they will be jamming near you!
"It’s the perfect balance of synths and guitar driven rock, and a huge inspiration for us. Also it’s just hands down one of the best driving songs. "
"We usually save this one for late night drives. There’s a wistfulness that fit so well with a highway lit by headlights. "
"Cool lyrics, inventive rock and roll and the chorus is great to sing along to. Plus it’s probably a good reminder to drive safe. "
"It’s a classic on-the-nose jam with killer guitar hooks and full-on cheesey synths that we don’t shy away from. This song shows you it’s possible."
"Huge vocal production inspiration. We also admire the mix of electronic and organic instruments."
"Do we even need to explain? Mitski’s just great and does all the weird things you wish you could."
"We honestly could’ve put any of their songs on, but it’s hard not to include something recent. The National are one of our biggest inspirations for just about everything."
"She’s the emo queen ruler of the world it’s just perfect."
"You know you love it. It’s such a great example of 80’s rock pop and simple songwriting. "
"This shits crazy."
