Alt-punks PLAIINS return with new anthem 'LOOK MA, I'M A DON' and announce UK tour

British/German alt-punks PLAIINS are back with a venomous and vibrantly catchy new anthem that targets the hollow bravado of modern pick-up culture. Building on the massive momentum of over 3 million streams and rave reviews from Visions and Kerrang! describing them as "cartoonishly gobby," the band’s latest single, 'LOOK MA, I'M A DON' is a masterclass in satirical songwriting.

The song combines a catchy Britpop-leaning chorus with the raw, unedited feel of The Libertines through its dual-guitar interplay, anchored by a melodic bass line that Paul McCartney would be proud of. One of the track's most brilliant moments is a cheeky Beyoncé reference - "Say my name, say my name" - which perfectly highlights the irony of a character who demands to be known while treating others like disposable products.

Coming off the back of their highly praised debut album Happy Faces (2025) and a collab with Italian producer Mazare on the song 'DIGAF', PLAIINS present their latest song just in time for the upcoming festival summer with several shows all over Europe, before heading to the UK in autumn and a Germany tour in winter with Smile and Burn and The Pill in all major cities.

PLAIINS comment on the new single: “‘Look Ma I’m a Don’ is a song poking fun at pick-up culture and the consumerist mindset driving it. The character sees himself as some kind of big-shot 'Don', while in reality he’s just a hurt little boy trying to fill a void and earn recognition from his mum. It’s a critique of treating relationships like a numbers game - keeping the body count high and consuming people like products.”
