PBII was formed in 2008, as a continuation of Dutch outfit Plackband. Plackband members Tom van der Meulen (drums), Michel van Wassem (lead vocals, keyboards) and Ronald Brautigam (Guitars & backing vocals) wanted to expand and modernize the stylistic expressions previously explored with Plackband, and when they met bassist Harry den Hartog they encountered a fellow musician sharing their newfound musical visions: To create music inspired by acts like Frost* and Porcupine Tree, but also incorporating elements from jazz-rock and neo progressive symphonic rock.
PBII released their debut effort Plastic Soup on January 23rd 2010.
