about

The sounds of dirt pouring out of old souls that were sold for the sake of rock n' roll. Space rock n' roll. Whatever it is, you can't help but to feel your ears being dipped in nostalgia then taken to another dimension and back again with the songs of Crobot. A quartet from central Pennsylvania, conjure up sonic ghosts and stories that seemingly were interpreted from crop circles in their debut album entitled The Legend of the Spaceborne Killer scheduled for an October 30th release date. The standouts do not stop with songs like the celestial-birthed, riffy title track "The Legend of the Spaceborne Killer", the infectious soundtrack of a stalker "Let Me In", or the bouncy, groove-wet tidal wave of a tune called "In the Undertow". This eleven-track effort would be loved by any classic or modern rock connoisseur, and with so many dirty seventies hard rock grooves with a modern twist, it's clear why.

Fans of Clutch, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against the Machine, or Soundgarden would love this effort, and if ten more bands that influenced Crobot's sound were needed to be named, they easily could be.

The Legend of the Spaceborne Killer, once released, can be purchased digitally on iTunes, amazon.com, and other major online outlets, as well as physically on their website www.crobotband.com or one of Crobot's undeniably magnetizing live shows. This record seamlessly manages to capture that current of electricity, which spews from their auras. The powerful packed punch of the vocals of lead singer Brandon Yeagley is a great one-two with the spellbinding, head bobbing guitar riffs of Chris Bishop; not to mention the stellar solidity of the low frequencies of Sam Grim on bass guitar. Bishop brings his unique style of art to the table to add images to the stories unveiled by lyricist and frontman Brandon Yeagley. The two also plan on creating a graphic novel based on the songs from the album, set for an undetermined future release.

Prior to their highly anticipated Halloween release, Crobot have spilled their sweat and tones on such stages as Philadelphia's Theater of Living Arts, the Stanhope House in Stanhope, New Jersey, and Anchorage, Alaska's Chilkoot Charlie's and plan on embarking on a tour not limited to the venues listed previously.

Track Name: The Legend of the Spaceborne Killer
The legend of the spaceborne killer
Made the front page today
Nobody knows where he came from
Why he's here, or what he'll do to you

I just saw the flashing lights
They blinded me they shined so bright
In this neon scene I can't help but to believe
This world was never ours


No more buildings to stand tall
He must've destroyed them all
Is it half bird, half bot, or half alien
I don't know but he's got something in his hand!!!

The legend of the spaceborne killer
I met face to face today
I couldn't tell what he wanted
If I had it to give I would've gave it away

I just saw his glowing eyes
They blinded me they shined so bright
In this hazy screen, I can't see
Was it all a dream or reality?

No more buildings to stand tall
He must've destroyed them all
Is it half bird, half bot, or half alien
I don't know but he's got something in his hand!!!
Track Name: Weigh Me Down
My eyes never told a lie but sometimes they overlook the truth
Visually magnetized, another set that's stuck on you like glue

The way she's throwing her curves got me lost for a moment and I can't control it any more
If my heart's in her hands, I know one day it'll end up on the floor

I can't forget you're the one who hung me out
If I hold on to my lust it'll weigh me down

Pick my heart up from the ground, dust it off
Now, put it back down

My mouth never promised ya a single thing I could not do
Verbally sexualized, the only thing that's sugarcoated is you

From her head right down to her heels, she's got me spinning my wheels
Maybe we'll make a lover's deal, but right now I'll shoot first I wanna know how it feels

I can't forget you're the one who hung me out
If I hold on to my lust it'll weigh me down
I can't forget you're the one who hung me out
If I hold on to my lust it'll weigh me down

Pick my heart up from the ground, dust it off
Now, put it back down
Track Name: In the Undertow
My minds moving faster than any wheeled vehicle
Bring the empire down with a touch of the untraditional
The common sheeple mind moves in a straight line forgetting about peripherals

Slow like a drain

Come on in while I'm goin out, so it's bound to be freak show
Later on we'll dance on until the morning stars light the way we'll go
Laughter and silence is all we'll hear because we're the only one's who know
We're drowning in the undertow

Drowning in the undertow


The spiral way of life keeps it all unpredictable
Build the defense up strong with a dose of the uncertain transitional
Grasp the power inside, knowledge won't let them hide, a blow to the beast's abdominal
Let it bleed...

Slow like a drain

Come on in while I'm goin out, so it's bound to be freak show
Later on we'll dance on until the morning stars light the way we'll go
Laughter and silence is all we'll hear because we're the only one's who know
We're drowning in the undertow

Drowning in the undertow

Slow like a drain

Come on in while I'm goin out, so it's bound to be freak show
Later on we'll dance on until the morning stars light the way we'll go
Laughter and silence is all we'll hear because we're the only one's who know
We're drowning in the undertow

Drowning in the undertow
Track Name: Cosmic Doppelganger
We're probably here or there, definitely never definite
As a matter of fact there's only matter of chance

He's me, I'm him, we're all, boogie down this quantum leap
Boogie down this quantum leap
Right now I guarantee he is where I'll never be

Cosmic Doppelganger
Me and my anti matter twin

Entangled in the connection that fuses our existences
We wouldn't stop the progress due to distances

He's me, I'm him, we're all, boogie down this quantum leap
Boogie down this quantum leap
Right now I guarantee he is where I'll never be

Cosmic Doppelganger
Me and my anti matter twin

Cosmic Doppelganger
Me and my anti matter twin
Track Name: Let Me In
I see the door is closed, the curtains pulled, but I know you're home
I've been watching you, think I know you better than you do

Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me?

Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me in?

Hide your face in the darkest place; I'll still see your shadow
Imaginations don't satisfy, I ache with the need to know

Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me?

Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me in?

This is how it feels when the fear rules all
This is how it feels when you lose control


Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me?

Looking out your back door, you'll never know
Knockin' on your front door, won't leave you all alone
Lockin' all your windows won' t keep me out
Why don't you invite me in?
Track Name: Leave the Key
She runs away, runs away from things she's afraid of
Hides in the day, in the day
On her knees prayin'

"Oh my lord!" Prayin', "Oh, my lord!"

She mustn't know, mustn't how to believe in herself
Puts all her faith, all her faith in someone else

"Oh my lord!" Sayin', "Oh, my lord!"

Guess it isn't gonna work like we thought

You can take my time, and you can break my hope
But you better believe I'm not wasting anymore
My faith's in me; one day I hope you'll see
But for now you better leave the key
Leave the k-k-k-key

She asks for things, pretty things to everyone she can show
Jewels and rings, furs and bling
On her knees beggin'

"Oh my lord!" Beggin', "Please, my lord!"

She gives her trust, all her trust in objects that don't animate
She looks at us, looks at us like we're the ones who need saved
"My lord!" Save 'em, "Oh, my lord!"

They couldn't make enough holy water!

You can take my time and you can break my hope
But you better believe I'm not wasting anymore
My faith's in me, one day I hope you'll see
But for now you better leave the key
Leave the k-k-k-key

On the way back from the river…
Track Name: Dirty-Faced Brethren
Home…

Waking up without any clue of how I got where I am…oh oh
My mind's not the sharpest thing in this room…oh no

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home…

I've never been this afraid of anything in plain sight…no oh
In fact right now the darkness could be my only friend…oh oh

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home…
Track Name: Homeward Bound
Home…

Waking up without any clue of how I got where I am…oh oh
My mind's not the sharpest thing in this room…oh no

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home…

I've never been this afraid of anything in plain sight…no oh
In fact right now the darkness could be my only friend…oh oh

I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home…
Track Name: Good Times in the Badlands
I went out to Rapid City
That's where they told me that he lived
He was the last known shaman of the Lakota clan

This ancient descendant of Passaconaway

He knows the right moves to put existence back into a dead man

Evil men crawling up from the canyons
My mouth feeling dry, good times in the badlands
Run Mr. president,

Pray to the Thunderbird
Is what he instructed me to do
He knows where the bones lie
In fact he scattered them there for you

Riding the three-toed horses, uproot skeletal intellect

We need an army of fearless men to fight the tyrant government

Evil men crawling up from the canyons
My mouth feeling dry, good times in the badlands
Run Mr. président,
Justice won't save you from necromance


Streaks of lightning strike the ground where we stand
Hear the howling of the wolves
Waiting to lead us to the heaven's

Light the cedar incense, pathway to the fourth world

Ashes to trees, ice to fire, this Indian gun for hire

Evil men crawling up from the canyons
My mouth feeling dry, good times in the badlands
Run Mr. president,
Justice won't save you from necromance
Track Name: Orphan
Lady's got curtains for eyes now, closed all of the time
Ear full of the same words, but you still can't speak the meaning

But in the same breathe

Don't let me
Don't let me
No
Don't let me
Don't let me
Become an orphan in my own home

Dirty sheets lay beneath a clean pillow
sends the sense of something faithful
Piles of stained clothes sitting there washing them with my eyeballs

But in the same breathe

Don't let me
Don't let me
No
Don't let me
Don't let me
Become an orphan in my own home

You, you're saving grace, to save you're face from this unholy place
You, you leave a trace but you gotta save your own ass now
I know you want everything...

All that I ask of you is babe when you leave, could you leave a light on?

Don't let me
Don't let me
No
Don't let me
Don't let me
Become an orphan in my own home
Track Name: Tap Dancin' on a Tightrope
They all say, "Live your dreams kid!" and they're the first to kick me out the door
If I don't bring home that paycheck, the world won't be my friend, no

Take your time to hurry up now, pretty soon your life will be a death
Do your own thing, fuck what they think
I'm just trying to pay my dues
Pay my dues

The world spins around a dollar sign and everyone's trying to buy the sun
Put a price-tag on the people, known by a number not a name, no

Take your time to hurry up now, pretty soon your life will be a death
Do your own thing, fuck what they think
I'm just trying to get mine, too
Get mine too

I'm tap dancin' on, tap dancin' on a tightrope, tap dancin' on a tightrope

Livin' once and I'm doing it for me, I don't have time for misery, no
Livin' my life how I choose to be…
Livin' once and I'm doing it for me, I don't have time for misery, no
Livin' my life how I choose to be…

I'm tap dancin' on, tap dancin' on a tightrope, tap dancin' on a tightrope
