A full album (subsequently untitled), following the success of Nightlife, is planned for release early 2015. Regularily seen busking in King's Lynn (UK), the band produces both popular covers and originals. In September 2013, they raised over £500 for the Special Care Baby Unit, at Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn, in less than 2 hours. As well as busking, the band gives regular gigs throught West Norfolk and performs at weddings and other ceremonies.

Original Tracks
In 2013, after a few successful covers went semi viral and after gathering a substancial following from regular busking, the band decided to record their first original under the name of The Puppeteers, Swagger, which was swiftly hidden from public due to the bands displeasure. Following this, the band took a more developed approach in songwritting, eventually finding their place in alternative rock. In early 2014, development started on the William's property to create a recording studio in which to begin work on The Puppeteers debut EP. After substancial work, the EP Nightlife, named after the opening track, was released July 2014. Nightlife release
