Between 1996 and 2004, Plastic Eaters regularly played in Philadelphia, New York City and New Jersey, and occasionally in Los Angeles. They also produced and remixed for other artists too, which include Pretty Poison, Josh Wink, Ani DiFranco, D Generation, Rocket from the Crypt and Incognegro.

After the release of a few EPs and the 2001 live album Live at the Uptown through their own website, the band's newer material returned to a more old school punk sound. The band have yet to release material in the UK.

In December 2008, Plastic Eaters released a cover of the Slade hit "Merry X-Mas Everybody" with the track "Going on a Mission", as a digital download only released through iTunes and 7digital. In 2010, Chuck Treece joined as the drummer.

In 2011, Stammers and Daly started writing soundtracks for US TV, film and adverts under the name Plastic Eater Sound, which is also the name of their record label.

gollark: There are probably mods adding lore-type stuff you can play.
gollark: (it makes plants)
gollark: I just play modded mostly, and build overcomplicated machinery like this recent thing.
gollark: I mean, there are things which may make you wonder "what happened here" and inspire you to think of some sort of history (strongholds, mineshafts, etc.), but there is no actual explanation, and that's kind of part of the point of a *sandbox*.
