Plus-Tech Squeeze Box are a Japanese electronic band.
The frenetic kitchen-sink sound of their first album FAKEVOX (2000) is an example of the subgenre known as picopop, driven by rudimentary synthesized sounds and heavily-manipulated samples from a variety of sources. Junko Kamada provides vocals throughout the album. The song Early Riser from the album was used in a TV advert for Powerade (energy drink).
Their second album, CARTOOOM!, was released in 2004. Junko Kamada is conspicuously absent, having parted ways with the band. Instead, sampled vocals and a variety of guest singers are used.
So far, their only exposure to western audiences has been an appearance on Adam and Joe Go Tokyo and a song entitled "The Jellyfish Song" on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
