Puppet Rebellion SNS Online Interview

“There's a huge buzz in Manchester around Puppet Rebellion. To see a crowd singing along to a band that can count its gigs on both hands is a sign of greater and bigger things to come." - Louder Than War

“There’s a feeling when you listen to the EP that it isn’t designed to slowly grow on you, it’s almost as if it doesn’t want to wait for that, it’s not going to politely sit and wait for you to mull it over and decide if it’s interesting or not – it’s going to grab you by the unmentionables and take you on a quality ride.” – Given To Sound

"Puppet Rebellion are destined to be big. Huge. Gargantuan. Gi-frigging-normous. Susan Boyle's-monobrow massive" - Bleach & Cologne

"Awesome anthems of our time with videos to match - insanely satisfying" - SNS Online

To coincide with the release of their brand new (and frankly, spellbinding) track, ‘Fragments’, SNS Online caught up with the critically acclaimed *Puppet Rebellion at a gig in London recently to talk about all their success to date, inspirations for their music & lyrics, and what the future holds - both in the studio and on the road.

Fully illustrated with tracks from their EPs to date.

We also speak to *Mat O’Brien and Stuart Minshaw about the work they’ve done in translating Puppet Rebellion tracks into outstanding music videos.

SNS Online Series 3 - Puppet Rebellion

ARTS.   LIFESTYLE.   SNS ONLINE.

- SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ+ magazine/music show ('ScratchNSniff', hence 'SNS'!) on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of in-depth one-to-one interviews - all fully illustrated with archive audio & music. These are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and non-profit making/also unhindered by advertising. Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!

- SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for 30 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten for the Azeri stream (in English, not Azeri!), radio packages for numerous BBC regions/World Service, and finally, Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). 

- TV appearances Blue Peter, Newsround, The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV). 

- Was once described as 'some BBC suit' by The Guardian's Media Monkey, after Nick wrote a letter to Ariel which got misinterpreted. 

- Many other 'ScratchNSniff' shows from its initial RTÉ run are available to be heard via Mixcloud by searching there for SNS Online.
