Pleymo is a French nu metal and melodic rock band. Pleymo have sold over 100,000 albums to date. The band's name apparently originates from the lead singer once having a haircut as a child that was similar to that of Playmobil figures. In 2002, they released their new album in 2 versions; one with French lyrics plus a bonus track named "Casino" and the other with the same songs (minus "Casino") in English lyrics (titled Doctor Tank's Medicine Cake).

  • Pleymo is a French nu metal and melodic rock band. Pleymo have sold over 100,000 albums to date. The band's name apparently originates from the lead singer once having a haircut as a child that was similar to that of Playmobil figures. In 2002, they released their new album in 2 versions; one with French lyrics plus a bonus track named "Casino" and the other with the same songs (minus "Casino") in English lyrics (titled Doctor Tank's Medicine Cake). In 2008, the song "New Wave" from Medecine Cake was released as a downloadable track for the game Rock Band. Their influences range from Rage Against The Machine to bands like Korn and Primus. Epic (a branch of Sony) offered the band a record deal in 2000. In 2002 they released "Episode II: Medecine Cake", produced by Fabrice Leyni. Sales of Pleymo's second album topped the 50,000 mark, establishing the band as a major new French band. In August 2002, Pleymo went on to perform at the Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and also in Osaka, sharing the stage with major international stars such as The Offspring and No Doubt. In November 2002 the group released a six-track "(Ep)Live", recorded at Les Eurockéennes festival in Belfort. Their third album title, "Rock," announced a major change of musical direction, with greater emphasis on melody and vocals. The members of the group stated that this third album was influenced by the work of bands like Pink Floyd and The Smashing Pumpkins. Sales of "Rock" topped the 50,000 mark in France and 18,000 in Japan. Pleymo were nominated in the "Best Pop/Rock Album of the Year" category at the "Victoires de la musique" Awards. Some of the band's older fans felt alienated at the perceived change in direction and sound. In September 2004 recorded a duet with teen pop'n'rock idols Kyo, resulting in the single "On ne changera rien".

  • Pleymo est un groupe de neo metal français fondé en 1997. En 2007, les membres du groupe ont décidé de faire une "pause" et de suivre chacun leur voie, peut-être reviendront-ils à nouveau sur scène.
  • A Pleymo é uma banda francesa de Nu Metal. Principal banda francesa do estilo, dentre os principais álbuns está Rock, que tem como principal música "Divine excuse", que rendeu um clip.
  • Pleymo — французская rapcore-группа. Появилась в 1997 г. Группа смешивает рэп и металл. Во Франции Pleymo решили стать первопроходцами стиля. Это было достаточно спорное решение, так как на почве бытового расизма французы, слушающие рэп, не любят людей, слушающих метал, и наоборот. Тексты Pleymo написаны в основном на французском, хотя иногда встречаются арабские и просто придуманные слова. Часть песен поется на английском. Название группы и разноцветный имидж происходит от игрушечных человечков «Playmobil».
