We're hesitant to list influences because it might let on that 1) we ripped off other bands or 2) we have horrible taste in music.
But here are some bands people have likened us to...even if we don't agree
Weezer, The Killers, Ghostland Observatory, The Cars, nothing like Vampire Weekend, The Bravery, New Order, The Jesus and Mary Chain, not really like The Pixies, possibly like Hot Chip, LCD Soundsytem, wish we were like Say Hi To Your Mom but not so much like U2 except their 80's albums, we are nothing like Bjork or Kimya Dawson, the exact opposite of the Pussycat Dolls, shockingly dissimilar to Britney Spears and this concludes our search engine optimization.
Sounds Like
Here are some sounds we would like to emulate.
Jesus and Mary Chain guitar, feedback and distortion. This seems to be en vogue again and I am all for it. If one can learn to play feedback rather than just let it happen it is a skill
The drums should fall in a wierd place between punk and old blues. That would be cool.
The synth sounds incorporate vintage square and saw waves with pipe organs for a full sound that hits just about every resonance possible. And speaking of resonance we run a bunch of different filters and LFOs on the synth to create all kinds of complimentary and lead sounds.
Finally, all the above is a pretentious wish list that may never quite pull together, but its good to have goals.
Get our classic EP and complete your Puppetbox catalogue.
Puppetbox is a band. They are currently under the radar. In fact, both the radar and the band are unaware of each other. The band plays electro, rock, shoegazer, geek, pop music - and the radar continues to serve as a metaphor for bands that have made lots of money versus those that will forever be "emerging."
In case you were wondering about the name of the band, puppetbox is either a device to control the minds of the hapless proletariat, OR we actually have a box full of puppets, both are probably illegal in Texas.
The band recorded their last album in Zamunda, the Chateau de la Prétentieux, and with the hottest Japanese producer, ??? in Tokyo.
Below is the hilarious new music video for our song KILL YOU DEAD! This was from the twisted minds of the comedy group, Armed & Ridiculous
The new Puppetbox song "Done By Numbers" is featured in a Dominos Pizza commercial airing in Puerto Rico. Check out the spot!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some recent reviews of the band include:
"I urge your ears to listen to this cut "Kill You Dead"
I sincerely hope to hear more from these guys." - prettymuchamazing.com
"Tycker dom verkar vara tre ganska roliga killar som inte behöver oroa sig för att varken nummer ett, eller två. Tycker dom lyckas riktigt bra med att låta bra." letmepressplay.blogspot.com/2008/02/puppetbox.html (must know Swedish)
"The song "Kimberly" reminds me a lot of old Weezer, say Blue era gone synthy. Especially the lyrics "You look like you could be much fun/you smell like bubblegum." Now this is a good thing." - Dreamsofhorse.blogspot.com
"I like the mix of rock and elctro sounds here. good guitar licks, and nice changes. fun and poppy, but still dark and geeky." redfizz.com
"This track (Kimberley) is pure fun!" - indiedontdance.blogspot.com
"Just call that song all kinds of f**ked up" - music critic, Brian

Puppet People. I am told you were not happy with the typo in my last comment. Hey! You are not even real! Who pulls your strings? Also, I've thought about it, and you should definitely consider venues like the Grand Ole Opry. (You are country deep down.) Anyway, I just stopped by to show some sarcasm on this page:)) Have a great weekend in your puppet theater. Ariel:)
