Puppet Radio is an alternative rock band based out of Fairfield, California. The band is composed of five members:Michael McLellan – Lead Vocals/Guitar, Anuj Arora – Guitars/Keyboard, David Bosse – Guitars, Chade Dixon – Drums/Percussion, and Carson Rogers – Bass. The band’s final lineup was formed in the spring of 2009 shortly before the release of their debut EP, Signs of the Time.
The music that Puppet Radio creates is an amalgamation of 90s alternative, post-punk, and hard rock with a little funk. Their powerful and emotional lyrics are reminiscent of progressive folk and provoke serious reflection on the direction in which the world is heading. The sound of their music has been compared to that of Dredg, the Pixies, R.E.M., and Stone Temple Pilots, with influences from Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and Incubus.
The band spent most of 2009 creating, preparing, and recording new music. With only a handful of gigs under their belt from the Bay Area to Sacramento, the band has an ever-growing fan base. Their hard work, and dedication to creating solid, moving, and charismatic live performances is paving the way for big things to come in the near future.
