Neon Plastix have supported bands including Klaxons, Robots in Disguise, Test-Icicles, The Duels, The Blood Arm, Good Shoes, Howling Bells, Clor, The Young Knives, The White Rose Movement and The Infadels as well as playing launch parties for Vice Magazine in both Antwerp and Amsterdam. They also completed their self-titled UK ‘Tour O’ Doom’ (complete with onstage exercise machine for any willing members of the audience) taking in the Barfly venues around the country and culminating in a Club NME headline slot at London’s KOKO. Despite only having released 2 limited double-A singles to date “prick tease / neon invasion ” and "dream / on fire " (gaining support from Steve Lamacq on Radio 1), Neon Plastix have gained a big cult following both in the UK and abroad, even securing deals with E.A Games and Sony Eriksson for use of their music and landing a spot at Glastonbury.
After taking what seems like one hell of a siesta, Neon Plastix released their long awaited debut LP “awesome moves ” on Blow Up in May 2010.
"These new-wave songs force a grin regardless of gender. An impassioned and feel-good statement of intent." NME
"This one's sure to go mental. Think pop-punk new wave disco floorfiller.” Rough Trade
"Doesn’t it just conjure up the pungent whiff of hair gel and cheap fluorescent spirits?" Drowned In Sound
"A blurry mix of electric punk and poppy sounds, reminiscent of Talking Heads and acid punk of The Rapture.” CD Times
"Melody drenched bleep-punk and an uncanny knack for a Bloody Good Chorus” This Is Fake DIY (Best of MySpace)

Pat: Lead Singer, Keyboard.
Danny: Drums

On Fire
Neon Plastix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have stayed, you'd have left me
I gone too fast we're goin to crash
It's suicide if you let me
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
It's coming off it will shock you so hard
It's a nervous desire
It's getting late
I'm goin to feint
Something in my head
It's so quiet
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
Whenever you feel, like I feel
Somethings gone wrong
Well I wont be here to clean up this mess
You better change your ways
You better change today
My head's so strong you don't know what I'm on
Don't even care so much to fight ya
I'm built for power in every hour
I guess you win if I let ya
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
You're talking crap with your trash can mouth
With every word comes a judder
What's going on why don't you hold that song
Speak straight don't stutter stutter stutter
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
It's gotta hold up so what got a shot
Come on and go
Whenever you feel, like I feel
Somethings gone wrong
Well I wont be here to clean up this mess
You better change your ways
You better change today
Whenever you feel, like I feel
Something has gone wrong
Well I wont be here to clean up this mess
You better change your ways
You better change today
The lyrics of Neon Plastix's song On Fire seem to be about someone who is feeling overwhelmed and on edge. The person is flying high and fast, but they fear they are going to crash and burn. They are aware of their anxiety and even say that they could be suicidal if someone doesn't intervene. They seem to be pleading with someone to come with them, to take a chance, to go on this dangerous ride, as they feel that they are on the cusp of something big that is coming. There is an intensity in their words, and they ask whoever they are addressing to speak straight and not stutter.
The chorus is a call to action, urging the listener to change their ways and to do it today. They speak of being there to clean up a mess if things go wrong, but warn that they will not always be there to do so. The repetition of "It's gotta hold up so what got a shot, come on and go" seems to reflect the feeling that there is a sense of urgency and that they are running out of time.
Overall, On Fire seems to be about feeling overwhelmed, but instead of giving up, the person is urging themselves and others to take a leap and see where this ride takes them. There is a sense of danger and excitement, with the lyrics painting a picture of someone who is going through something intense but isn't ready to give up yet.
