Plush is a rising all-girl rock band quickly gaining attention in the music world. They first made headlines in 2020 with their powerful cover of Heart’s iconic hit ‘Barracuda,‘ and have since broken into the Billboard Top 40 with their own charting singles. Now, the band is gearing up for a new tour and an exciting summer filled with fresh releases and big plans.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s next for Plush.
Background: Plush Where To Start
Ranging in age from 20 to 23, Plush stands out as one of the youngest—and fiercest—rock bands on the rise today. For Gen Z fans and rock lovers alike, the band captures the raw energy of classic rock while delivering a fresh, modern twist. Their sound is proof that the spirit of rock is alive and thriving in a new generation.
Their upcoming self-titled debut album Plush dropped in 2021 and quickly turned heads. It reached the Billboard Top 40 with singles like ‘Hate’ and ‘Better Off Alone.‘ The success of this album opened doors to touring opportunities with massive names like Disturbed, KISS, Evanescence, Alice In Chains, Slash, and Daughtry. Plush also performed at major festivals, proving that they could hold their own against some of rock’s biggest legends.
In 2023, Plush released their upcoming follow-up EP Find The Beautiful, showcasing their ability to evolve without losing their gritty, emotional core. Singles ‘Left Behind’ and ‘Run’ both charted on Billboard’s Top 100. This secured Plush’s reputation as not just a “viral moment,” but a band that’s here to stay.
Moriah Formica: The Voice That Started It All
Long before Plush, Moriah Formica was already making waves. At just 16 years old, she wowed audiences on NBC’s The Voice (Season 13). She joined Team Miley Cyrus after a jaw-dropping audition covering Heart’s ‘Crazy on You.’ Her powerful vocals stunned all the judges. While her journey on the show ended earlier than fans expected, it sparked something bigger — a determination to create a band that could change the face of modern rock
After The Voice, Moriah teamed up with drummer Brooke Colucci to record a cover of “Barracuda,” which racked up over 7 million views. It captured the attention of rock fans worldwide. Not long after, Plush was officially born.
The Beginning Of A Great Tour
Plush is currently on tour at the moment starting May 6. They will open for The Pretty Reckless for three dates: May 6 in Buffalo, NY, May 22 in Green Bay, and lastly May 25 in East Monley. Recently, they have announced they will be heading out this Summer on their US tour
So far the band hasn’t announced any new album or music. It looks like they are just doing their tour, which is very exciting. You can find out more information on their website.
Live Shows: Where They Shine
If you’ve only heard Plush on Spotify or YouTube, you’re missing half the magic. Their live performances are where the band truly comes alive.
Fans and critics alike have praised their energy, musicianship, and passion on stage. Plush doesn’t just play their songs — they command the room. Whether it’s a packed festival or an intimate venue, they deliver a performance that leaves people talking.
Their chemistry on stage, especially between Moriah and Bella also shows how close-knit and serious they are about making a lasting mark. They’re not just “good for an all-girl band” — they are great musicians, period.
Left Behind and Run
If you haven’t listened to ‘Left Behind’ or ‘Run’ yet, you’re seriously missing out. These tracks show off Plush’s growth — the production is tighter, the lyrics hit harder, and the hooks are unforgettable.

What Makes Plush Stand Out?
There’s no shortage of talent in the rock scene, but Plush brings something unique — raw authenticity and emotional punch.
- Vocals: Moriah’s voice is powerful yet vulnerable, easily switching from soft melodies to gut-wrenching belts that stay with you.
- Instrumentation: Bella Perron’s shredding guitar solos, Ashley Suppa’s killer basslines, and Faith Powell’s tight drum work give Plush a full, electrifying sound.
- Songwriting: Whether it’s the aggressive bite of “Hate” or the heartbreaking honesty of “Better Off Alone,” Plush’s lyrics connect with real emotions — heartbreak, anger, hope, resilience.
They aren’t trying to be anyone else. Plush stands confidently in their own sound, blending modern rock with nostalgic influences from Heart, Halestorm, Evanescence, and Soundgarden.
Why Plush Matters in 2024
In a male-dominated genre, Plush is breaking barriers and proving that rock isn’t just for the boys. Their presence sends a strong message to young women and nonbinary fans who have long loved heavy music but rarely felt seen in the spotlight. Seeing a band of talented, unapologetically loud women absolutely shredding on stage has inspired a new generation to pick up guitars, write music, and scream their truth.
It’s not just about representation — it’s about raising the bar. Plush is showing that being young doesn’t mean being inexperienced. They write their own music, play their own instruments, and hustle like veterans. Every show they play, and every chart they hit, proves that the future of rock is more inclusive. And heavier than ever.
Their fanbase continues to grow across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Followers praise not just their sound but their authenticity and accessibility. Moriah regularly interacts with fans, and their behind-the-scenes content shows a group of genuine friends who are just as goofy as they are badass.
With their festival become an upcoming buzz growing and major acts backing them, Plush is on the edge of something massive. All they need now is also that one breakout hit. If their current momentum is anything to go by, it’s coming soon.
