"Guarded By Robots are three people based in Newcastle and have been together since mid-2006. In April 2007 they recorded and released the handmade EP 'Fashion Tips From Myra', which included live staple and fan favourite 'Me Vs Traffic', a constantly shifting 4-minute burst of energy with group vocals and serrated guitars. It was an early hint as to what sound the band would eventually settle at: uncompromising and overflowing with ideas. In time the vocals have become stronger, the music more abrasive, but always with a main focus on producing songs that are epic, catchy, dark and edgy. The band forgo the use of most effects pedals in favour of energy and passion. A second EP proper is set to be recorded and released later in 2009."
