Meet the word’s only emo puppet band.

Austin-based Fragile Rock has been called “the perfect festival act” by Variety and is the first emo puppet band in history to both headline their own NPR Tiny Desk concert and get booed off the stage at America’s Got Talent.

The 9-piece collective of punks and puppets was created in 2014 by writer and musician Brently Heilbron and is a 6-time featured artist at SXSW.
