Socks are murder: the story of Fragile Rock.

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

The 9-piece collective of punks and puppets was created in 2014 by Brently Heilbron.
