Push Puppets

Rachel Drew

ABOUT THE ARTIST Push Puppets is an pop / rock ensemble from Chicago that creates songs with earworm melodies and shiny production that belie the often bittersweet sentiments in the songwriting of singer/songwriter/guitarist Erich Specht.

Specht’s vocal and songwriting style has been compared to Elvis Costello or Wilco. His layered guitars and memorable guitar solos are reminiscent of Elliot Easton of The Cars or Brian May of Queen. Together with a rhythm section consisting of drummer Greg Essig, bassist John William Lauler, keyboardist Kyle Magnusson and singer/guitarist Tommi Zender, PushPuppets creates inventive pop/rock that takes the listener to unexpected places.

In addition to his bread-and-butter topics of dysfunctional relationships and hopeless pining, Erich also writes about such subjects as imminent doom, a training session at a Russian troll farm, convincing a co-conspirator to take the fall, and Karma blowing up his house and running him off the road.

The new album titled “Allegory Grey” was released on September 30th, 2022. Here are a few quotes from critics about the album:

“The songwriting is never predictable and it often shows flashes of brilliance.” – PowerPopaholic

“There’s No One Else Like Lynette is an absolute earworm and Sometimes The Buds Never Flower may be the best Pop Rock song that I’ve heard all year. The latter’s hook is unusually in the verse. Highly Recommended!” – Don Valentine, I Don’t Hear A Single

“It’s a fantastic record, treasure it.” Patrick Donders, Sweet Sweet Music

“Altogether, a very fine, and highly individual, indie-pop outing.” – Robert Rodi , New City
