Imagine a band that would slip in well within the college circuits. This is The Plastic Constellations, catchy, but with raw production. A fun band from Minnesota playing a mix of college radio rock, pop rock, and a tiny bit of alternative and surf rock. Mazatlan is about fun, with a hint of partying, and a feel of maybe going on a "road trip." The Plastic Constellations are not a Christian band, yet they could satisfy a college aged crowd at a campus club or bar pretty easily.

So when I pop a new crisp, clean CD into my computer to listen to, I'm expecting another cookie sheet soundalike. Then along comes The Plastic Constellations' Mazatlan.
