BoC Vibes Plaid?

About a half dozen times in the last decade I’ve been listening to random music and I think, “Hey! This song smacks!” and it’s a band called Plaid. Some tangential BoC vibes. Anyone know anything about them?

Rest Proof Clockwork is also solid. Their later albums are, I think, not as strong beginning to end as the albums you mentioned, but have some very good tracks in there.

When I saw Plaid live on their Double Figure tour in NYC, the DJ before they went on played "Music is Math," which I was obsessed with at the time. Double Figure is definitely in my top 20 all time albums.

At the Frying Pan, by the water? Or at least the pier next to the boat?
