Robot Disaster (new SINGLE/new LIVE DATES!)

About Me

IN THE WORDS OF OTHERS:

‘Robot Disaster have a grasp on that feeling where emotions threaten to spill over into rage, euphoria or despair, always teetering and just holding it together. A great sound.’
Chris Martin, NME Radio‘Awesome...unhinged melodies, wonky synths and (shh!) guitars match up perfectly with damning lyrical content.’
CMUdaily‘Monstrous electro-popping experimentalism.’
Venue Magazine‘Guitars Are Overrated – A swaggering four to the floor, don’t give a toss swipe at the Myspace generation.’
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

‘The most insidiously addictive track on planet pop right at this moment.’ [Guitars Are Overrated]

IN OUR OWN WORDS:

Heavily influenced by EVERYTHING from happy hardcore and indie pop to the hip hop and grime scenes, we are ROBOT DISASTER. A gang of friendly electropunks playing stuff with a beat, stuff that's deep, and stuff that's danced to by the kids on the street.
Yes, from time to time, we are trying to be anthemic. And we do very much love the occasional beatdown. So get yourself down to a show sometime, and find all this out for yourself!
Over the last year and a bit we’ve played shows all over the UK on a shoestring budget, hooked up with the legendary Gash DJs of Ibiza Rocks to get loads of remixes done for our first single ‘Guitars Are Overrated’, and then done it with them all over again. We’ve slept on countless floors, and regretted countless photographs that were later posted on the internet. (Good luck trying to hunt some down!)
We’re also part of a collective organising the Overdrawn electro club nights across Bristol, which is very fun and even more chaotic. Come for a dance to one of our bangin’ DJ sets next time it’s on.

We've shared stages with the likes of:

CALVIN HARRIS/HEADS WE DANCE/LATE OF THE PIER/DAN LE SAC VS. SCROOBIUS PIP/DIRTY PRETTY THINGS/WE HAVE BAND/SO SO MODERN/AKALA/TRASH FASHION/WE SMOKE FAGS/LOAD.CLICK.SHOOT/YOU LOVE HER COZ SHES DEAD/THE RESEARCH/KOSHEEN/GLAMOUR FOR BETTER/KID CARPET/SPORTSDAY MEGAPHONE/amongst many others. Lucky us!
