  Formed in 1993, Yellow Plastic Bucket is a four piece guitar /bass /drum /vocal combo that is based out of their hometown of Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Their first release (Just Got Back/I Tried) harvested enthusiastic critical response from a number of influential publications. A live performance in New York City ("they put on a damned good show"- Urban Rag #18, Brooklyn NY) attracted the interest of hit producer Mark Kramer (whose credits include Urge Overkill 's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack). Yellow Plastic Bucket's second release (Young Again/Empire Maple) was recorded with Kramer at "Noise New Jersey" and garnered a significant amount of "college" radio airplay in North America as well as inclusion in syndicated radio programs broadcast in Europe, Australia and Japan. The record's tenth pressing is now available. What the critics have said about "Just Got Back/I Tried": "loud screaming vocals, guitars and four track production (are) perfect ingredients for a seven incher, don't you think?" Phil Saunders, Exclaim (Toronto). "I kinda like these two scab picks ... incoherent and full of abandon" Eric Gladstone, Alternative Press (Cleveland). "Noisy aggro stuff that sounds very Australian to me. ("I Tried" is an) impressive piece of fast pound." Harvey Dent, Maximum Rock and Roll (Berkeley). What the critics have said about "Young Again/Empire Maple ": "melodically aggressive post punk power pop...I like this single a lot." Matt McMillan, Exclaim (Toronto). "This one is a real mover, it will leave you emotionally impacted" Katz, Flipside (Pasadena). "Another superior single from this impressive Oakville band." John Sakamoto, Toronto Sun
