“The Bane of My Existence” is the fourth single (and fourth official music video) from the new Push Puppets album Allegory Grey, which was released on September 30, 2022. You can find the album on BandCamp.
Rock At Night Says: On its newest track, “The Bane of My Existence,” Chicagoland quartet Push Puppets spin a classic pop gem, relating a poignant tale of persistence and uncertain hope in the face of repeated disappointment. Bathed in a swirl of luscious electric piano, organ, and a taut rhythm section, the sweetly emotive vocals of frontman/songwriter Erich Specht are both vulnerable and hopeful, reminding us of George Harrison and even fellow Chicagoan Jim Ellison (Material Issue).
Push Puppets are: Singer/guitarist Erich Specht, drummer Greg Essig, bassist John William Lauler, and keyboardist Kyle Magnusson.
