COLUMBUS, OH – MARCH 3, 2015 – Ohio-based electro-pop/rock trio, Plaid Brixx, is heading to Austin, TX for this year’s South by Southwest 2015! Following the release of their new EP in 2014, Plaid Brixx has been performing all year at venues and festivals including this past fall at the 2014 CMJ Music Marathon and Fashion Meets Music Festival. For more information, please visit: www.plaidbrixx.com.

The new EP, Chemistry, which was co-produced by lead singer Chris Duggan and producer Richard Barone, is pop with a razor’s edge of rock and an aftershave of punk.  Duggan, who also penned all five songs on the EP, crafted a contemporary sound for this collection of in-your-face songs. The official music video for “Chemistry” premiered on PureVolume, here: http://bit.ly/1BYU5zR and fans can check out a behind-the-scenes video on Buzznet: http://bit.ly/1AYvIlY. You can check out the acoustic video for “Chemistry” exclusively on Guitar World Acoustic Nation here: http://bit.ly/Vcum45 as well as the live studio version of the title track on Under The Gun Review here: http://bit.ly/11qMeLt. Plaid Brixx premiered their music video for “Hipster Queen’” with Substream, which fans can watch here: http://bit.ly/110G6JM. The band also premiered two new lyric videos from the new EP; check out “Wanderlust” on Arena.com: http://bitly.com/14S5Zh2, and “Heartbreaker” on idobi Radio: http://bit.ly/1IH0mPw.

Formed in early 2013 by Duggan, Plaid Brixx is also comprised of Mark Smith on drums, and Cole Bradley on bass. After playing together in a high school band, the trio is now showcasing their new sound years later. In regards to the band’s debut EP, Duggan explains, “Our objective was to pick and choose our favorite elements of electronic, rock and pop music and 'Frankenstein' them together. I believe we've achieved that with this music.”
