My Music with Graham Coath: Atara / Plastic Rhino – Sausages, Spiritbox & Screamo Dogs
Hello my little lovelies! In this delightfully offbeat episode of My Music, your host Graham Coath sits down with the unapologetically brilliant Atara – the voice and energy behind hard-hitting alt-rock duo Plastic Rhino – to talk about everything from jazzercise-inspired music videos to dreams of opening Monsters of Rock.
🎮 Named like an 80s console but sounding like a stadium-filling juggernaut, Atara shares how her Genesis-loving, MTV-watching childhood paved the way for music that’s both theatrical and thunderous. Expect chat about wigs, workout tapes, VHS merch ideas, and how a mullet might just be your best marketing tool.
🎧 Topics include:
Growing up with Genesis, Tom Petty, and music video obsession
New single “Take It All” and its gloriously bonkers jazzercise video
The realities of indie music life and side hustles in costume design
Sync dreams, T-shirt merch magic, and why Ed Sheeran might end up wearing one
Manifesting a Spiritbox tour and opening Donington Festival
Guest appearance: Atara’s screamo dogs 🐾
This one’s got sass, laughs, and serious passion for authentic rock music (with a side of retro nonsense). Go check out Plastic Rhino, stream the new single, and remember: all great things start with a good wig and a dream.
🎵 Music from Plastic Rhino will be added to the My Music Podcast Playlist – available wherever you stream.
