Puppet Wipes - Live Inside

Puppet Wipes
The Stones Are Watching & They Can Be A Handful
Siltbreeze
Canada/USA, 2025
LP

Delirious, scrappy pop and slapdash rock on the anticipated follow-up to the Puppet Wipes’ 2022 debut. With a full-time drummer in tow, they genuinely do rock this time, even retrofitting a legit punk cover into their lopsided world. More often, they summon memories of the Raincoats, the Velvets of that twisted monologue jam “The Gift,” and their own strange selves. As cartoonishly bold as a self-inflicted concussion, and twice as fun.
