His yearning to play original music led him to Taser puppets doorstep which he now darkens to great effect.

Taser Puppets

Formed in 2008, Taser Puppets are an alternative rock band with edgy noise, melody and contradictions. Vocal driven music with vigour tightly laced with dark humour. A stripped to the bone sound where there's no place for guitar ego & the song is king. Our ideas & belief in self-penned music is embedded in everything we do. Louder, Bubble Machine. Fossil and the EPs Twisted Pop and Fuzzy Felt can be found in the British Library Sound and Moving Image Catalogue. We recorded a live EP at the Crescent venue in Salford.

Mike Leigh (former drummer with The Fall) chose the Tasers’ ‘Beautiful Song for the Ripper’ taken from the EP Twisted Pop as one of his favourite tracks when being interviewed on Salford City Radio, saying “the Ripper is as good as any song written by anyone at any time!”

Having played most of the North’s top venues supporting the likes of The Primitives, Yeah Yeah No’s, Bez (Happy Mondays), Interrobang (Chumbawamba) and Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets) to name just a few. We have also played at the renowned Dublin Castle in Camden.
