Puffer Fish

About Me

Puffer Fish is an indie rock, power-pop band from south central Pennsylvania. The members of the band are Carl, Matt, Stu and Pat. The four piece is a guitar driven line-up.We are leaning more and more toward songs that are uplifting or have a message to make people think--if they listen to the lyrics. If no one listens that closely, at least the songs should feel good and be fun. There is enough depressing stuff out there to keep everyone feeling down. We have a little bit of that stuff ourselves, but we are trying to keep it dialed back.Puffer Fish is very approachable and we love hanging out with people. Our intent is to have a good time performing and meeting new people along the way.Puffer Fish has been described as British Invasion with a modern twist. That sort of sums it up.
