Puppet Strings

Fuel

A weathered, blues-infused return to form. Gritty baritone vocals meet thick guitar grooves in a record that feels both heavy and remarkably mature.

March 4, 2014 · Megaforce Records

A gritty and resilient blend of hard rock defiance and mid-life introspection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The swampy, slide-guitar intro of Soul to Preach To that signals a shift toward a bluesier, Southern-influenced sound.
The massive, anthemic explosion of the chorus in the title track Puppet Strings which recalls the band's peak radio era.
The stripped-back, vulnerable opening of What We Can Never Have before it builds into a cinematic emotional finale.
