Pleeay is a gutter-pop trio. They draw inspiration from a wide range of genres including punk (Crass, Nina Hagen, Death), funk (Prince, ESG), and art music (Kate Bush, Bjork). Pleeay’s goal is to inspire folks to resist the call to conform , choose consciousness over convenience, and live loudly with compassion.

An all-singing, all-dancing alien-poet. Castle’s lyrics express the absurd struggle to navigate mental health and identity in a homogenized world.

Castle (they/them) ~

Master of electronic cacophony with a passion for ye olde drum kit.  Huli creates unforgettable sonic landscapes that everyone can move to.

Huli (he/him) ~

A sweet human-shaped gumdrop that breathes bass. Pete designed the first Pleeay zine in 2022 and soon joined the band on bass full-time.
