Puppetbox

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." The band is made up of John Payne(guitar/vox), Katie Johnston(vox/accordion/kazoo), Chris Tempas(synth/programming), and Mark Annotto(drums).
From a hamlet nestled on the corner shores of Brooklyn, Puppetbox has honed its sound to create beguiling pop melodies, but with a distinctive buzzy synth/guitar sound. Following a successful EP, Puppetbox released their eponymous album which expanded their songwriting to include array of styles and genres. The album, Runtime_Error! features songs ranging from hard electro-rock to infectious dance; the album moves relentlessly forward and includes shockingly original instrumentals all mixed seamlessly together into a gapless album.
The band's goal is to make songs that they would love to listen to – and they only listen to music that is awesome.



REVIEWS:
"Everybody needs "Puppetbox". In a word, genius." Cowboy Cantor
"Puppetbox is the sort of band that makes you sit up and pay attention. Whether it's the mix of electronic and organic (though still electric) instrumentation, the kazoos or the threat of total domination of the masses, there's something special about this Brooklyn quartet. " - wildysworld.blogspot.com
"There are few bands like Puppetbox.they are prolific songsters of the first order and I can't go a day without listening to their unique synth geek pop rock (pop rocks?) thing that they do. Interviewing Puppetbox was not quaint or charming - it was hilarious! They are also nominees for IRM Best Independent Artist 2009 Award!"—InternetRadioMagazine.com
"The vocals shine the most on Everything, a more pop oriented song, with a catchy chorus and a distinctive retro sound. This is by far the best and most fun song on the album. If you only listen to one Puppetbox song, this is definitely the one you have to hear." - Andrea Guy, community.livejournal.com/mossip/

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. One reviewer said this: The video for "kill you dead" is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I wish I were different too.
