Sad Day for Puppets are a Swedish rock band, who formed in 2006 in the Stockholm satellite town of Blackeberg.
The EP and the band's live performances attracted positive reviews from the local indie music scene, and the group signed recording contracts with labels in both Sweden and Japan.
[2] The band promoted the EP by appearing as the opening act during a tour with Television Personalities; later that year, they embarked on their own headlining shows in the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany.
In the UK and Ireland the band has released two albums to date and a handful of 7” singles on the London-based label Sonic Cathedral Recordings.
The band's compositions have been noted by journalists to be heavily influenced by dream pop, a musical genre which typically emphasises softer melodies and arrangements.
