For fans of Clutch, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against the Machine, or Soundgarden, and if ten more bands that influenced Crobot's sound were needed to be named, they easily could be.
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.
Crobot have spilled their sweat and tones on such stages as Philadelphia's Theater of Living Arts and Xfinity LIVE, The Paramount in Huntington, NJ, 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.
Crobot is:
Brandon Yeagley - Vocals, Harp
Chris Bishop - Guitar, Vocals
Sam Grim - Bass
Tony Kobel - Percussion
Chupacabra
Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
300 dead sheep in Columbia
Victims of a creature as vicious as a god
Hairless and hungry, covered in mange
Carnivorous in all its attacking ways
Well I found that bloodsucker down by the river…
Down by the river
El Chupacabra
Oh, down by the river
El Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Does such a thing exist, we may never know
All with glowing eyes of red, could steal your very soul
Movement in the distance, wait ‘til the coast is clear
Monster of Mexico, I got your goat right here
Well I found that bloodsucker down by the river…
Down by the river
El Chupacabra
Oh, down by the river
El Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Get up!
Well I found that bloodsucker down by the river…
Down by the river
El Chupacabra
Oh, down by the river
El Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Oh, down by the river
El Chupacabra, Chupacabra
Oh…
The lyrics to Crobot's song "Chupacabra" describe the mythological creature of the same name that is said to inhabit parts of the Americas. The creature is known for attacking and killing livestock, particularly goats and sheep, and draining them of their blood. The song references the mass killings of sheep in Columbia and describes the Chupacabra as a vicious and hungry creature covered in mange. The lyrics also suggest that the creature has supernatural abilities, including glowing red eyes and the ability to steal one's soul.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Down by the river, El Chupacabra" emphasizing the creature's presence and threat. The lyrics also suggest that the creature is elusive and difficult to catch, with the singer waiting until the "coast is clear" before making a move. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the existence of the Chupacabra, the song portrays it as a real threat, with the singer expressing pride in catching and defeating the creature.
Overall, the lyrics to "Chupacabra" reflect the fear and fascination surrounding the mythical creature, as well as its cultural significance in certain parts of the Americas.
