About Me

ROBOTS AND EMPIRE is the ferocious result of 4 kids from Poughkeepsie, NY who spent time amassing days upon days listening to a ton of post hardcore records that came out of the east coast in the mid to late 90's(Quicksand, Into Another, Orange 9mm, Cast Iron Hike, Unsane, Giants Chair) and a ton of Space Rock from that same time period (Failure, Hum, Chavez, Shiner, Deftones). They accept the challenge from clubs, vfws, theatres, basements, elks lodges, legion halls, bars, teen centers and colleges to rock even the most unwilling onlookers into oblivion.
