Plus-Tech Squeeze Box are a Japanese electronic music band.
The frenetic 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, including 1950s jazz and big band recordings. Junko Kamada provides vocals throughout the album.
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.
