Pennsylvania’s old-souled dirty groove rock quartet CROBOT have recently launched a video for the track ‘Legend Of The Spaceborne Killer’ of their upcoming record “Something Supernatural”. The video is uploaded on Nuclear Blast Youtube channel and can be seen below:
CROBOT has recently signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records for the territory of Europe. The band will release their upcoming album, “Something Supernatural” on October 24 (EU) / October 27 (UK) 2014 via Nuclear Blast.
There was a time when rock radio was dominated by great riffs. From DEEP PURPLE’s ‘Smoke On the Water’ and DEREK AND THE DOMINOES’ ‘Layla’ to SOUNDGARDEN’s ‘Black Hole Sun’ and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’s ‘Killing In The Name Of’, it was all about that unmistakable guitar sound that instantly identified a band or song. Blending funk, blues, metal and rock and roll, CROBOThave crafted an album of endless good time rock hooks for their forthcoming new album, titled “Something Supernatural” due out October 24 on Nuclear Blast.
Today, the group – whose stage show was praised by Pittsburgh Music Magazine as, “wild, brutal and sexy all at once.” – premiere a new live performance video for the song ‘Legend of the Spaceborne Killer’ exclusivelywith YAHOO!
Nuclear Blast are pleased to announce the signing of Pennsylvanian based band CROBOT.
Frontman Brandon Yeagley has stated his excitement to sign with the prestigious rock label: “We’re honoured to have Nuclear Blast as the international wind beneath our beards. With bands like GRAVEYARD, SCORPION CHILD, ORCHID, & KADAVAR on their roster, Nuclear Blast Europe is the perfect place for CROBOT to nest.”
They’re already whipping up a storm in the US having played SXSW earlier in the year and have toured with the likes of CLUTCH, SCORPION CHILD, TRUCKFIGTHERS and THE SWORD.
In their home territory they released a self-titled 4-track EP in May of this year and quickly gained comparisons with the likes of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and WOLFMOTHER with their penchant for leather, hot sauce and, more vitally, performing a mind-blowing, riff-heavy, sweat-inducing live show. The quartet worked with respected and acclaimed producer Machine (CLUTCH, LAMB OF GOD) on their EP and upcoming album.
