One of our FAVORITE BAD ASS BANDS… CROBOT have announced some headlining tour dates and we are excited to see a return to San Francisco and the DNA Lounge! In addition to their new tour dates they have released the album artwork for their new album, Something Supernatural which is set for release on October 28th through Wind Up Records. They once again worked with the producer Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes) at his Machine Shop studios, whom also worked with them on their self titled EP. Check out the amazing cover artwork which was designed by their guitarist, Chris Bishop.
“All the art was made on 22×30 paper with pen and ink and watercolor,” explains guitarist CHRIS BISHOP. ”I used a lot of inspiration from Alphonse Mucha for the look of the album…And the devil.”
In case you missed it, they recently released a video which featuring a live performance of Legend of the Spaceborn Killer which is being premiered on Yahoo. You can (WATCH HERE).

I hope you get a chance to see them perform live. These guys have such a refreshing new sound infused with a Dirty Groove Rock. They are like no other band out there today. Crobot is bringing the life back into classic rock/ stoner rock with a double dose of groove in a modern style. Think like Zep ala Soundgarden with a side of Wolfmother. They have such a killer sound that is groove heavy, riff rock or as they say: “Bang your head and shake your ass at the same time“. That is the perfect way to describe it it.
You can check out our interview with Crobot when they came to play at the DNA Lounge here in San Francisco:
These guys are so much fun and their personalities light up the room on and off the stage. Crobot is Brandon Yeagley on Lead Vocals and Harp, Bishop on Guitar and Vocals, Jake Figueroa on Bass and Paul Figueroa – Drums. Together these four deliver a dirty groove rock sound that will have moving in no time.
Here is a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together with footage of their San Francisco set:
