PLINI is an independent solo artist from Sydney, Australia. He composes, plays guitar, records, produces and manages his unique brand of instrumental progressive rock all from a bedroom studio. STEVE VAI described his critically-acclaimed debut album “HANDMADE CITIES” as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” PLINI was named “Best Prog Guitarist in the world right now” by Music Radar in 2017.

2017 and 2018 saw PLINI embark on highly successful headline tours of Europe, the UK, India, North America and Australia. These tours included dozens of sold out shows in some world’s iconic small venues, including the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, Islington Assembly Hall in London and the Corner Hotel in Melbourne. This was followed by the release of the "SUNHEAD" EP in mid-2018, and an ensuing world tour across Europe, North America, Asia, India and Australia.

In addition to his own catalogue, PLINI has also released two singles for charity, “KO KI” (2014) and “EVERY PIECE MATTERS” (2016), raising over $10,000 for providing shelter and sustainable housing for communities in poverty in Cambodia.

PLINI has a signature guitar with Strandberg Guitars, and endorsement deals with Yahama Music, Dunlop, D’Addario and Fractal Audio.

They came from some of the most popular, if not polarizing hardcore bands of the early ‘90s (Shelter, 108, Resurrection), but by the time Texas Is The Reason formed in 1994, a new aesthetic crystallized almost instantly and reduced its members’ previous efforts to history. Indeed, it was only a year later when Revelation Records released the band’s self-titled EP, their name derived from a lyric in the Misfits song “Bullet,” that Texas Is The Reason were already headlining their own tours in America and well on their way to defining a new moment in post-punk.

In April of 1996, the band reinforced that initial success with their first and only album, produced by Jawbox’s J. Robbins and named after the last words that John Lennon was alleged to have heard: “Do You Know Who You Are?” In the years since, SPIN, Alternative Press, and Paste would all go on to call "Do You Know Who You Are?" an essential ‘90s album. Unfortunately, after a year of heavy promotion and touring for the record, inner-band tension came to a head and the band officially split in 1997. Its members would go on to form Jets To Brazil, New End Original and Solea.

Since then the band had only reunited once – for two sold-out New York City shows in 2006 – but their presence has barely waned: Newer generations of bands like Spitalfield, Into It. Over It., and Transit have covered Texas Is The Reason songs over the years, and even vets such as Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, and Armor For Sleep have all publicly cited their influence.
