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
Homeward Bound
Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up without any clue how I got where I am
My mind′s not the sharpest thing in this room
I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I've never been this afraid of anything in plain sight
In fact right now the darkness could be my only friend
I gotta get my hands untied
I gotta get my head to unwind
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
I gotta get back home
The lyrics to "Homeward Bound" by Crobot are about a person who wakes up in an unknown place without any memory of how they got there. The singer's mind is not sharp and they feel lost and disoriented. They are afraid and feel like the darkness is their only friend.
The singer is determined to get back home and must first untie their hands and clear their mind. They need to find their way back to their familiar surroundings where they feel safe and secure. The fear of the unknown is palpable in the lyrics, but the singer's longing to go home is a powerful motivator.
The song speaks to the universal human need for safety, comfort, and familiarity. It is a reminder that no matter how lost or scared we may feel, we all have a place we can call home. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, and Crobot delivers them with raw emotion and intensity.

Waking up without any clue how I got where I am
Confused and disoriented, I find myself in an unfamiliar place without any recollection of how I arrived there
My mind's not the sharpest thing in this room
Feeling mentally foggy and slow, I struggle to comprehend and process my situation
I gotta get my hands untied
I urgently need to free myself from physical restraints to gain mobility and control over my situation
I gotta get my head to unwind
To think clearly and rationally, I must calm my racing thoughts and emotions
I gotta strengthen frightened eyes
Despite feeling scared and vulnerable, I must find inner strength and courage to face whatever lies ahead
I gotta get back home
Above all else, my goal is to return to a place of safety and familiarity
I've never been this afraid of anything in plain sight
Despite the absence of an obvious threat, I am overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty
In fact right now the darkness could be my only friend
At my lowest moment, I may paradoxically find comfort in the unknown and the unfamiliar
