About

Push Puppets create songs with earworm melodies and shiny production that belie the often bittersweet sentiments in the songwriting.

On their fourth album – “Tethered Together” – Erich muses on relationships and loss as well as the weight and joy of life in a manner effortlessly poetic and married to the track like puzzle pieces.

With Specht on lead vocals and guitar, Push Puppets is rounded out by Steve Frisbie (backup vocals and guitar), Kyle Magnusson (keyboards), John William Lauler (bass) and Greg Essig (drums). “Tethered Together” features a string quartet on most songs and a horn section on one.

“Tethered Together” will be released on May 16, 2025.
