Crobot

Beginnings

In the Summer of 2011, Brandon Yeagley and Chris Bishop created Crobot, joined later by brothers Paul and Jake Figueroa, who previously performed similar styles of music in another band. In 2012 the band’s original lineup self released their debut EP, The Legend of the Spaceborne Killer, along with a music video for the eponymous first single. Later that year, the rhythm section of the band was revamped with the addition of the Figueroa brothers on bass and drums.

Wind-up Records and the Present

In 2013, Crobot was discovered by Wind-up Records, and was officially signed in December. On May 13, 2014, they released their self-titled EP, produced by Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes). The EP, which features four tracks off their upcoming full-length album, was released to positive reviews. Their first single and video for “Nowhere to Hide” was debuted on Revolver on May 14, 2014 and has since hit number 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart as of August 2014. Also in May, Crobot was added to the 2014 lineup for Taco Bell’s Feed the Beat campaign.

The band is continuing their extensive touring habits that they are known for. In 2014 alone, they toured with Chevelle, Clutch, The Sword, Truckfighters, KYNG, Kill Devil Hill and more, in addition to playing festivals such as SXSW and Rock on the Range. They embarked on their first UK tour in September, 2014, with The Virginmarys.
