Casino Madrid is the latest band to join the Artery Recordings roster, the joint venture between The Artery Foundation and Razor & Tie. The San Diego band is the ninth addition to the Artery Recordings family. "We couldn't be more excited to join the Artery Recordings family," DeMaio said. "We felt as a band that this label was the best fit for us, not only because of its reputable name in the industry, but because of the family oriented attitude everyone at Artery presents to their bands." "We're very pleased to welcome Casino Madrid to the Artery Recordings family. We've had our eye on the band for quite some time and they've been making waves in San Diego that are undeniable," said Eric Rushing, CEO of The Artery Foundation. "The guys have an amazing batch of new songs that we can't wait to get out to everyone!"

Comprised of Joe Demaio (vocals), Marcelo Sedano (guitar/vocals), Armani Sanchez (guitar), Travis Knutz (bass), Rob Cesena (keys/synth/programming) and Johnny Thunder (drums), Casino Madrid formed in 2007.

We are all robots!

We are all robots searching for a meaning!

We are all robots searching for a purpose!

We are all just losing time
Patiently

We're all just waiting in line
To Die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Robots" by Casino Madrid address the human condition of searching for meaning and purpose. The repetition of "We are all robots" emphasizes the idea that our lives can sometimes feel monotonous and controlled, like we are simply performing tasks without any real direction. The line "We're all just losing time patiently" speaks to the resignation that can come with this feeling of disconnection.

The last line, "We're all just waiting in line to die" is a bleak reminder of our finite existence and the inevitability of mortality. However, the tone of the song is not entirely bleak. The driving beat and heavy guitar riffs convey a sense of defiance and resistance, as if the band is urging the listener to break free from the cycle of robotic life.

Overall, the lyrics of "Robots" offer a poignant commentary on the struggles of modern society to find purpose and maintain a sense of individuality in a world that can often feel dehumanizing.
