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

Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
Crobot's song Not For Sale is a powerful and liberating anthem. The lyrics are about the self-realization of one's value and the decision to not compromise oneself for others. The repeated line 'You can leave me on the corner where you found me' signifies a freedom from being trapped or dependent on someone. The singer has taken control of their life and declares that they are not for sale anymore. The line 'I'm not for sale anymore' is a strong statement of self-worth, and the repetition of this line emphasizes the certainty and conviction behind the message.
The song can be interpreted as a struggle for independence and self-respect. The singer realizes that they had been undervalued, underappreciated and taken advantage of before, but not anymore. The emphasis on the line 'You can leave me on the corner where you found me' shows that the singer is ready to take on the world without external support. The song is also a reflection of the struggle within oneself to overcome negative self-concepts, and to find and hold onto self-worth.
Overall, Not For Sale is a raw and powerful song about self-discovery, finding self-worth, and taking control of one's life.

Oh, you can leave me
I am no longer dependent on you or your actions
On the corner
In a public place, as a symbol of my independence
Where you found me
Referring to a time of vulnerability and exploitation
I'm not for sale anymore
I am taking control of my own life and not allowing others to exploit me
You can leave me
I am strong enough now to stand on my own
On the corner
In a place where I was once victimized, but now choose to reclaim
Where you found me
The starting point of my journey to self-empowerment
I'm not for sale anymore
I refuse to be treated as an object for someone else's benefit
Oh, you can leave me
I am not afraid of being alone or abandoned
On the corner
Claiming my own space and refusing to be pushed aside
Where you found me
Acknowledging my past experiences, but refusing to be defined by them
I'm not for sale anymore
Asserting my own autonomy and self-worth
