Pleymo is a French nu metal band formed by Mark Maggiori, Benoît Julliard, Fred Ceraudo, and Mathias Borronquet in Paris in 1997.

[2] The band's name apparently originates from the lead singer once having a haircut as a child that was similar to that of Playmobil figures.

In August 2002, Pleymo went on to perform at the Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and also in Osaka, sharing the stage with major international stars such as The Offspring and No Doubt.

In November 2002 the group released a six-track "(Ep)Live", recorded at Les Eurockéennes festival in Belfort.

Their third album title, Rock, announced a major change of musical direction, with greater emphasis on melody and vocals.

[1] The members of the group stated that this third album was influenced by the work of bands like Pink Floyd and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Pleymo were nominated in the "Best Pop/Rock Album of the Year" category at the "Victoires de la musique" Awards.

[2] In September 2004 recorded a duet with teen pop'n'rock idols Kyo, resulting in the single "On ne changera rien".
