Artist description Fast and sometimes sappy songs about love and cockroaches. Our Engineer Bill Stevenson called it "arty punk rock." A series of stumble and recoveries make a sound that's tight in a "record is skipping" kind of way. They're too cool to be a bar band but too desperate to be actual recording artists. There not quite what you'd expect but on the fifth listen, hard to forget.

Artist History All Ohio transplants to Chicago Illinois. The guitarist and drummer are brothers and have played together since Robbie(drummer) was 10. Formed 5 years ago all having depression and Ohio in common. With a will to survive they put together the shyest bunch of good-for-nothings this town has ever scene. And somehow, with nothing to live for but a need to rock, it worked. They became unsung heroes of the Chicago Rock Community. Respected for no schtick but pure punk rock energy that was neither hateful or cliche'.

Press Reviews "Hey. f*** yeah. I like the fast guitar, dual shoutin stuff. They've obviously had some good influences. See 'em live funny as all get out"-Reglar Wiglar-Chicago IL "New Rob Robbies lean more toward an early Black Flag sound. Noticeably bouncy bass and fast vocals with melody keeps this track interesting"-Maximun RocknRoll-Berkeley CA "New Rob Robbies play garage with a purpose, marrying good time riffs with hardcore backing vocals"-No Bare Feet-Tampa FL
