About Me

Maldroid has never necessarily been a "political" band by any means, but that doesn't mean we don't care. This upcoming November election may be the most important general election in our lifetime.

---THE STORY SO FAR---
We were born just over a year ago in the city of Oakland, CA. Like many toddlers, the first few months were awkward at best. Took a step this way and that and fell flat on our faces. Like most children of the future however, we evolved fast and for the last few months we've been tall enough to ride the roller coaster.
We had a sweet video before we had a band. We were on Good Morning America before we played a show. The radio played our single before we'd finished recording it. Some say we are starting our band in reverse but the reality is we are evolving to an ever changing musical landscape. This is only the beginning.
The future is NOW. The future is MALDROID.
Join or Die!
