For Amy and Ben, sadplant is the result of a friendship that stretches back to 1986. What started as two friends bonded by music, skate culture, and punk ethics eventually grew into a band built on the same values: positivity, independence, and doing things their own way.
Staying true to classic DIY principles, sadplant has self-released eleven albums over the years, building a catalog fueled by raw energy, melody, and heart. Their eleventh album released in 2026 is continuing a long tradition of making music on their own terms.
Alongside bandmate Phil, sadplant delivers fast, upbeat skatepunk that balances speed and aggression with an unmistakably positive spirit. Their songs channel the energy of classic punk while keeping the focus on friendship, resilience, and staying optimistic when life gets messy.
Amy and Ben also bring serious punk pedigree to the band. Both previously played in and toured extensively with the legendary New York hardcore band Murphy’s Law, carrying those years of experience on the road and in the studio into everything sadplant does today.
Decades after their friendship began, sadplant remains a testament to what happens when lifelong friends keep making music simply because they love it. No hype, no shortcuts—just fast songs, good vibes, and pure DIY punk.
