History
Droid was signed to Emotional Syphon Records after Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer saw them perform at the world-renowned Whiskey-A-Go-Go. The band accompanied Korn and Limp Bizkit on their 2003 Back 2 Basics tour, as well as the 2006 and 2007 installments of the Family Values Tour.
Droid also served as backing musicians for Korn bassist Fieldy's side project Fieldy's Dreams.
The band was voted 2007 newcomer of the year at The Gauntlet, and the music video for "Fueled By Hate" was voted the No. 11 video of 2007 on MTV2's Headbangers Ball.
Droid released a free new song "Condemn the Weak" in 2009 on Droidmusic.com in anticipation of following-up their self-titled 2007 album, but it never materialized. The band is currently defunct.
Former bass player Wilfred "Duke" Collins died on March 22, 2015.
