hey! been busy the last few months, almost a hundred days on the road since releasing the new album in january and weve been having a decent time for sure. awesome weather and meeting tons of people!!!

first off, we picked up a new member to play guitar who goes by the name of brian fahey. brian joined up with us in FL while we were down there over the winter. he has not yet quit, im guessing thats a good sign he might be around for a bit longer.

we also filmed our first video while home in april, al liptak from kirby productions handled the whole thing and we are super stoked on it. check it out and lemme know what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ7iKomJE0c&feature=player_embedded

also, huge thanks to roger realsen from http://www.realsenconsulting.com/ for continuing to make www.sadplant.com a sweet website! thanks dude, i cant tell you how psyched we are!

lastly, work on the new album has officially started. recording has begun and the rough tracks to the first 3 songs are down, expect to be hearing some of the new songs next week when we leave to head back down to jersey, D.C., and VA.

thanks for reading and for the continued support! and thanks to everyone that has been awesome to us since we’ve begun been touring, and to all our new friends! hope i see some of you out soon….

because no band can punish Mom and Pops like these three delinquents can

sadplant — Tue, 10 May 2011 19:25:05 +0000

So, your over-controlling parents don’t understand you and take every opportunity to remind you of your failures. Boo-freakin-hoo. It’s get even time, and I’ve got the punk rock plan that doesn’t even require that you learn three chords. Simply pick up Sadplant’s latest, The End of Fun, because no band can punish Mom and Pops like these three delinquents can.

Is there any area band that’s done more to fly the punk flag than these felonious wrongdoers? The End of Fun is the band’s seventh CD since 2007 ~ talk about getting their music out there! Featuring Benny Social on vocals and guitars, Amy Wappel on bass and vocals, and newest member Gabe Fonseca on drums, Sadplant produces a lively, straight-ahead punk onslaught. But they are also capable of melodic guitar runs and, surprising, metal-inspired leads. Social’s rugged vocals sound like Alice Cooper on amphetamines. Failed relationships, drug abuse, codependence, departed friends, and the irony of aging punks are explored with honesty and comic insight.

Strong tracks include the hopeful, anthemic “Junkie,” the pop-punk track “Codependence” (featuring call and response vocals), and the punk declaration of relationship independence, “Not Your Whore.”

Pick up The End of Fun for just $8 by visiting

something which is on the whole a blistering sound

sadplant — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 13:45:49 +0000

“Sadplant produces something which is on the whole a blistering sound focusing heavily on a buzzsaw guitar sound backed up by a relentless rhythm section, with all three members intent on delivering frenzied tunes laced with melodic guitar work, riffs and hooks all over the place with distinctly ungruff vocals.” More …

staright ahead punk core

sadplant — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:06:02 +0000

“Straight-ahead punk core supplemented with opening metal-style guitar licks and mid-song instrumental solos. Sadplant perfectly captures the comedy in subcultures, and axe-whacks anxieties like getting old and growing out of touch.” More …
