Raised By Robots

Raised By Robots is a rock and roll band from San Francisco/Oakland that suckles lovingly on the teat of multitudinous influences - among them early 90s indie, soul, post punk, country, and hip hop - and ameliorates that disparate mash into a sonic reformation that Zeus would be proud of. RxR takes nods from certain acts - Why?, Okkervil River, Al Green, Johnny Cash, Thee More Shallows, Menomena, Jamie Lidell, Ms. John Soda, Tapes N Tapes, Sly, The Flaming Lips, The Arcade Fire, DJ Shadow, Damon Albarn, The Beach Boys - but have created something wholly unique. This band also believes strongly in an energetic & charismatic live show, which it has brought to fans all over the bay area and up and down the west coast for the past two years.

The bass-guitar-drums instrumentation remains impermeable throughout the shifting styles and numerous time changes of the album’s 12 high-energy songs..."

"On their debut disc, Bay Area's Raised by Robots fail to skimp on energy and endurance while managing a few smatterings of alternative songwriting creativity. However, the fun pretty much ends there. What potentially sounds like an exploratory rebirth of Husker Du and Henry Rollins, turns out to be a special concoction of 90's hard rock Nyquil and cheap booze..."

RETRO LO-FI.COM
"...It’s a collection of 12 songs that combine traditional indie rock, punk, and a few hefty shots of emo. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. That’s not a bad thing, but this record doesn’t have a whole lot of diversity..."
