Pluto (New Zealand band)

Pluto's nascent trajectory has covered the spectrum of the New Zealand musical stratosphere, bursting brightly onto the scene in 2001, but they broke up in 2009 when they were recording their fourth album.

Their first album, Redlight Syndrome, has a range of song types, starting with acoustic folk and ending with heavily distorted metal.

Between that and their next album, the band enjoyed minor highs and a few lows, but they found a collective voice on Pipeline Under The Ocean.

The album's name is derived from the Second World War Pipe-lines Under The Ocean – acronym PLUTO – which supplied fuel to Allied forces after D-Day.

The group's songs have appeared on the following compilations: "Long White Cross" from Pipeline Under the Ocean was used in the EA Sports computer game, Cricket 07.
