Plastic Skies is the fifth studio album by Australian punk rock band, Bodyjar.[1] It was released on EMI on 10 June 2002,[2] peaking at No. 37 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[3] Three singles appeared from the album, "Is It a Lie" (May 2002), "One in a Million" (August) and "Too Drunk to Drive" (January 2003).

In Australia an extended version of the album was issued with a bonus 3-inch CD of live material from the band's Warped Tour. The Japanese release of Plastic Skies had three bonus tracks including, "TV", unreleased in Australia at the time; it was later a B-side on "Too Drunk to Drive". In August 2005 EMI released Plastic Skies as a double album compilation with How It Works (2000). Each was packaged in jewel cases with full original artwork—both discs were silver and held together in a card slipcase.
