R.O.B.O. haven´t wasted time during the apocalypse and as a result of it we have 4 new explosive tracks by these Madrid outcasts. True to their unmistakable style of deceivingly simple, catchy, moody and raw Punk Rock the band (as is a tradition for them) recorded these 4 new songs at their rehearsal space in Madrid and the result bursts with desperate energy and frustration, the perfect soundtrack to dystopian times like these.
2 of the songs will remain exclusive to this release and 2 will be re-recorded for the bands upcoming third lp and the edition is limited to 300 copies, so if you're interested don ' t wait on it!
This is their fourth recording work after their first 7" and 2 full lenghts 12".
Our take: We’ve been following Madrid, Spain’s R.O.B.O. for years here at Sorry State. They’re about to release their third album, but in the meantime, they dropped this four-track EP to whet our appetite. According to the label, 2 of these songs will be re-recorded for the full-length, while the other two will remain exclusive to this release. If you haven’t heard R.O.B.O., they play snappy, upbeat punk rock that borders on hardcore. While the songs are catchy, they’re constructed on a hardcore template, with two of these tracks clocking in under a minute and the other two barely any longer, all of them buzzing along at an energetic clip that never gets so fast the melody gets lost. And the melodies are great, reminding me of the Marked Men or Radioactivity, but shorter, faster, and leaner. With only four minutes of music, this EP packs a lot in a small space and has me suitably curious about the coming album.
